Dahlin scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Dahlin put Buffalo ahead 2-1 midway through the opening period, sliding a wrister through Jake Oettinger for his 20th goal of the season. It's the first time the 23-year-old blueliner has reached that mark in his NHL career. Dahlin now has three goals and five points in his last five games. He's up to 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) through 78 games this year.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Three points against Caps
Rotowire
Dahlin scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
The 23-year-old blueliner's tally early in the third period kicked off a Sabres surge that saw them beat Charlie Lindgren three times in two and a half minutes, chasing the Washington goalie from the game. Dahlin hadn't produced a three-point performance since Nov. 19, and while he won't come close to last season's career-high 73 points -- he's at 56 with six games left on the schedule -- his 18 goals on the season are already a new personal best, as are his 177 hits and 144 blocked shots.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Contributes helper Friday
Rotowire
Dahlin logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Dahlin set up Tage Thompson's hat-trick-clinching goal at 15:26 of the third period, which stood as the game-winner. Prior to Friday, Dahlin had gone three contests without a point. The defenseman is at 53 points, 213 shots on net, 172 hits, 140 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 73 appearances. Dahlin remains the Sabres' top defenseman, though he'll fall well short of the 73-point campaign he put together a year ago.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Scores both goals in loss
Rotowire
Dahlin scored twice on four shots, blocked four shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Dahlin snapped a nine-game goal drought with his pair of third-period goals. The defenseman had four helpers during that span. The 23-year-old is at a career-high 17 goals while adding 35 assists, 200 shots on net, 163 hits, 133 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances. His offense is notably down from last season, but he still does enough overall to be a strong fantasy blueliner.
Dahlin scored in overtime to give the Sabres a 3-2 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
The overtime winner was Dahlin's 15th tally of the season, matching his career-best mark from last year in 19 fewer games. He's a workhorse on the blue line and is providing plenty of offense, even if he isn't on pace to match his impressive 58-assist total from last year.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Two points against Kings
Rotowire
Dahlin scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-0 rout of the Kings.
The 23-year-old blueliner produced his first multi-point performance since Jan. 11, but Dahlin has been delivering consistent offense for the Sabres over the past six weeks. He's been held off the scoresheet only five times in 14 games since the beginning of January, racking up four goals and 12 points over that stretch, and he sits one goal shy of tying the career-high 15 he notched in 2022-23.
Dahlin notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Dahlin set up a Jordan Greenway tally in the third period. Through nine outings in January, Dahlin has provided three goals, six assists, 26 shots on net, 15 hits and 15 blocked shots. The do-it-all defenseman is enjoying another strong campaign with 38 points (13 on the power play), 136 shots, 91 hits, 88 blocks and a minus-13 rating through 46 contests overall.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Two helpers against Sens
Rotowire
Dahlin picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.
He had a hand in two tallies by Tage Thompson (undisclosed) in the first period that put the Sabres in the lead for good. Dahlin has two goals and five points in the last four games, continuing a hot streak that has seen the All-Star defenseman rack up six goals and 13 points in 14 contests over the last month.
Dahlin scored an empty-net goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.
The 23-year-old blueliner didn't have a flawless performance however, as it was his giveaway in the second period that led to a Joel Armia short-handed tally and spoiled Devon Levi's chance at a shutout in front of his hometown Montreal crowd. Dahlin is having another strong offensive season with 11 goals and 31 points in 38 games, but his minus-14 rating is putting a damper on any Norris Trophy talk.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Man of many achievements
Rotowire
Dahlin scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
Dahlin became the first defenseman this season to reach 10 goals. He has posted a double-digit goal total in three straight seasons, which ties him for the second-longest streak in Sabres history. Dahlin has a long way to go to equal the best -- the great Phil Housley had eight from 1982-90. This was the 56th goal of Dahlin's career, which moved him into fourth among defenders in Sabres history. The first overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft should remain a Norris Trophy contender for years to come.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Physical presence in loss
Rotowire
Dahlin recorded four shots along with five hits and three blocked shots in the Sabres' 2-0 loss to the Coyotes on Saturday.
While Dahlin saw his point streak come to an end at three games Saturday, he still filled the stat sheet, recording four shots, five hits, and three blocked shots in 25:35 TOI. The Swedish defenseman continues to log heavy minutes on the top defensive pairing and top power-play unit, but his scoring pace is down a bit from last season. He has 25 points in 31 games after finishing 2022-23 with 73 points in 78 games.
