Dahlin (concussion) will rejoin the lineup Thursday versus the Predators, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has picked up in 2019-20 just where he left off the 2018-19 campaign, compiling 16 points -- one goal and 15 assists -- over the first 24 games. After eight games on the shelf to slow him down, the second-year blueliner should have a decent chance to start his return off right against backup goalie Juuse Saros, who has struggled on the road this season.

Dahlin (concussion) will take part in warmups ahead of Thursday's clash with Nashville, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin was originally expected to miss multiple games due to his concussion, but he appears to be ahead of schedule. The blueliner practiced with the No. 1 power-play unit Wednesday, which is a good indication the team anticipates him being available. If Dahlin is unable to dress, it will likely be Marco Scandella who slots into the lineup in the youngster's stead.

Dahlin (concussion) is cleared for contact and could play Thursday against the Predators, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Ralph Krueger said he liked what he saw out of Dahlin during Wednesday's practice, so the 19-year-old blueliner is certainly trending in the right direction. Still, Dahlin will need to be evaluated following the session, and an IR activation would precede his potential return to the lineup.

Dahlin (concussion) is doubtful to suit up in the Sabres' next three games, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has begun skating but has yet to be cleared for contact and wasn't a full participant at Tuesday's game-day skate. The blueliner's continued absence will see Jake McCabe jump back into the lineup, though Marco Scandella should see some ice time as well in Dahlin's stead.

Dahlin, who's been out since suffering a concussion Nov. 24, watched the Sabres' morning skate from the bench Monday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has already missed four games and coach Ralph Krueger said his blueliner is still a ways from a return, though at least the youngster's presence at Monday's practice is a small step toward a return. Next will come off-ice workouts, and then things should progress from there. However, the bottom line is Dahlin won't be useable in this week's lineup, and perhaps for another week or two beyond that.

Dahlin (concussion) is considered out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

It's impossible to predict how long it will take Dahlin to fully recover from the concussion he suffered Monday against Tampa Bay, but at this point it appears as though he'll miss Buffalo's next three games at a minimum. The rising star will need to be cleared for contact and return to practice before rejoining the lineup, so expect another update on his status once that occurs.

Dahlin's exit from Monday's game in Tampa Bay was due to a concussion, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin took a nasty elbow from the Lightning's Erik Cernak, likely causing the head injury. Concussion timelines can be finicky but it sounds like this could be more than a minor issue. Until another update is available, Dahlin will be considered day-to-day, but his status for Wednesday's game against Calgary seems doubtful.

Dahlin (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin appeared to take a big hit to the upper-body area during the game, and he wasn't on the bench when the team returned for the third period. Expect a report on the youngster's health following the game, or at the very least ahead of Wednesday's game against Calgary. For the time being, however, the team dressed seven defensemen for the game so the Sabres will roll with six for the remainder of the night.

Dahlin recorded his 14th assist of the season during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin's only goal of 2019-20 came in Buffalo's first game of the season, back on Oct. 3. Since then, he's not found the goal column, but Dahlin has registered 14 assists -- seven with the man advantage -- which have more than made up for his lack of goals.

Dahlin finished Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa with an assist.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin played 11:56 in the win, an uncharacteristically low amount of ice time for the 19-year-old defenseman. On the year, Dahlin is averaging 19:26 per night, but despite the low usage, he tallied an assist and now has 13 points in 19 games. After the game, the team did not provide a reason for Dahlin's reduction in ice time, and it's not known whether or not he is dealing with an injury.
