BUFFALO - Exciting news for Sabres fans: Captain Rasmus Dahlin is set to rejoin the team soon after representing Team Sweden at the Olympics. Dahlin, now 25, showcased his skills with one goal and five points over five games during the Milano Cortina Games. Unfortunately, Sweden's journey ended with a tough 2-1 overtime loss to Team USA in the quarterfinals.
Dahlin, who also played in the 2018 Olympics, continues to be a key figure for Sweden and the Sabres. Meanwhile, back in Buffalo, the Sabres have been hitting the ice again after a 12-day break. They’ve been practicing without Dahlin and center Tage Thompson, who’s making his Olympic debut with Team USA.
The team has a scheduled day off on Saturday before getting back to practice on Sunday. They're gearing up to resume their NHL schedule next Wednesday, facing off against the New Jersey Devils on the road. With Dahlin's return, the Sabres are looking to build momentum as they dive back into the season.
