Dahlin (upper body) told reporters he'll be returning to the lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin missed the last two games due to his upper-body issue but appears set to jump back into the lineup. The blueliner has been rolling of late, as he's racked up nine points in his last 10 contests, including four power-play assists. The Swede should be capable of reaching the 40-point mark for a second straight year and could even set a new career high.

Dahlin (upper body) won't play Thursday against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin will miss a second straight game Thursday, but he's still considered day-to-day with his upper-body issue, which suggests he could be ready to return as soon as Friday against the Rangers. Once he's given the green light, the 19-year-old Swede will return to a top-four role and a spot on Buffalo's first power-play unit.

Dahlin (upper body) is in doubt for Thursday's matchup with the Red Wings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin was rolling prior to suffering his upper-body injury, as he racked up nine points in his prior 10 outings. The blueliner's potential continued absence coild allow Zach Bogosian to maintain his spot in the lineup.

Dahlin (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin was heating up -- he posted nine points over the last 10 games -- but he'll watch from the press box against the cross-conference opponent. It's unclear who will slot into the lineup, as Brandon Montour's (lower body) status is uncertain. If Montour can't go, Zach Bogosian will draw in.

Dahlin registered an assist, four shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has a goal and six helpers over his last seven games. The Swede is up to 28 points, 67 shots on goal, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 41 contests overall.

Dahlin scored a goal on three shots, went plus-2 and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin struck at 16:10 of the second period, and it would be enough to secure victory for the Sabres. The defenseman has a goal and five helpers in his last six games despite seeing his role reduced in that span. He's at 27 points, 63 shots and a minus-2 rating through 40 appearances this season. The 19-year-old's occasional defensive lapses could keep him from reaching his full potential in 2019-20, but he's still a solid choice for fantasy rosters.

Dahlin finished Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks with two assists, including one with the man advantage.

EDGE Analysis

With only two goals this season, Dahlin's fantasy value is heavily rooted in the defenseman's ability to consistently find the assist column. He did that Saturday, picking up two helpers in what turned out to be a lopsided loss for Buffalo. Half of Dahlin's 24 points in 2019-20 have come on Sabres power plays.

Dahlin collected an assist during Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin now has points in back-to-back games, after battling through a six-game point drought. Dahlin's having a bit of an up-and-down season, where he will have hot and cold stretches. He has 23 points in 36 games, and is on pace to finish with 42 points despite missing eight contests with a concussion.

Dahlin posted a goal and an assist with a minus-1 rating, one shot, two hits and two blocks in a 5-3 defeat to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was nice to see Dahlin get his second goal of the season just a game after recording six shots on net. Despite only two scores, his 5.0 shooting percentage nearly mirrors what he posted during his rookie season because his shots on goal per game average has dropped by about 0.67. But perhaps the goal and seven shots in the last pair of games is a sign Dahlin is trending upward. He has 18 helpers to go with his two goals in 27 games this season.

Dahlin set up a goal in Buffalo's overtime loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

That gives Dahlin points in back-to-back games since returning to the Sabres lineup. Despite missing eight contests with a concussion, Dahlin hasn't missed a beat. He's back on the top pairing and top power-play unit, and is poised to continue building on his successful campaign. He's up to 18 points in 26 appearances.
