Dahlin joined his team for practice Sunday, meaning he's been activated from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin had resided in the protocol since Monday, as he was one of nine players on the team that was in the protocol. This is huge news for the Sabres, who will now be with Dahlin's services for Monday's game against the Islanders. The Swede has gotten off to a slow start in the 2021 campaign, collecting three points, 32 shots and a minus-9 rating while averaging 19:49 of ice time in 10 games.

Dahlin was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Monday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres now have nine players in the league's protocol. Thursday's game against the Capitals is still on the schedule for now, but it wouldn't be surprising if that was pushed back further.

Dahlin scored his first goal of the season during Sunday's loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin was blanked in his first six contests, but has begun to find his offense lately. He's scored three points in his past four meetings, all on the man advantage. It was only a matter of time before the 20-year-old started generating offense, but this will provide some relief to managers that were worried about his slow start.

Dahlin has no points through four games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Dahlin's lack of offense, he's also seen his ice time drop in each passing game. He skated 24:20 in his season opener, but only 18:34 in his most recent contest. He's now on Buffalo's third defense pairing, which doesn't help his fantasy value. Those who drafted the 2018 first overall pick will be hoping to see him return to the top pairing and start producing.

Dahlin scored four goals and amassed an impressive 36 assists in 59 games prior to the suspension of play in mid-March.

EDGE Analysis

The 2018 first-overall pick has had an impressive age-19 season, as he paces Buffalo's blueliners in points. Dahlin's 36 helpers are also second among Sabres behind only star forward Jack Eichel, and the minus-7 rating isn't really all that bad for a teenage rearguard on a team with a minus-22 goal differential. Owners would probably like to see Dahlin shoot the puck more (90 SOG), but he's more of puck mover anyway, so there's not much to complain about here given his age and production.

Dahlin registered a pair of assists and had one shot with one block in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin drew the secondary assist on Victor Olofsson's first-period goal, then teed up a perfect feed for Jack Eichel on his power-play tally in the middle frame. The 19-year-old Dahlin has followed up a spectacular rookie campaign with very similar production in 2019-20, posting four goals and 40 points in 59 games.

Dahlin collected an assist during Thursday's loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The assist ended a five-game point drought for Dahlin. Prior to the drought, he went on a run of 16 points in 17 contests. He inevitably went a bit cold, and the point could help him start up another productive run. The sophomore is now up to 38 points in 57 appearances.

Dahlin contributed an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has posted a goal and four helpers over his four-game point streak. The 19-year-old Swede has 35 points, 79 shots, 56 hits and 34 PIM through 49 contests this season. He's still working on the defensive aspect of the game, but fantasy owners can overlook that given how strong Dahlin's offense can be.

Dahlin dished out two helpers -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Dahlin's helpers came on goals scored by Victor Olofsson, who made his return from a lower-body injury. The first assist helped Buffalo tie it at 2-2 on the power play in the third period, while the second helper led to Olofsson's overtime winner. Dahlin's on a roll, having mustered 13 points in his last 14 games.

Dahlin returned to action in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers after a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury, skating 15:18 without a point.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old didn't see quite as much ice time as usual, but he still chipped in two shots and three blocked shots. With the injury behind him, expect Dahlin to handle a full workload when the Sabres host the Ducks on Sunday afternoon.
