Dahlin notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin is warming up again with three helpers over two contests to begin the Sabres' current road trip. The 24-year-old defenseman had a had in both goals during the third period as the Sabres came back from a 2-1 deficit. Dahlin is now at six goals, 28 assists, 107 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-3 rating over 39 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Dahlin logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin had been held off the scoresheet for two games following the end of a five-game assist streak. The 24-year-old defenseman has 13 helpers over his last 12 outings, including six on the power play. For the season, Dahlin's up to 32 points (14 on the power play), 106 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 44 hits, 26 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances as Buffalo's top blueliner.

Dahlin picked up an assist Saturday in a 6-2 loss to Seattle. It came on the power play.

EDGE Analysis

He had five shots and two hits. Dahlin, who has 31 points in 35 games this season, extended his assist streak to five games (five assists) for the fifth time in his career. That passes John Van Boxmeer (four) for the second-most such streaks by a defenseman in Sabres history, behind leader Phil Housley (nine). Dahlin has gone 14 games without a goal. He does have six snipes and 99 shots in 35 games, and he will likely crack the double-digit goal mark. But Dahlin won't come close to his career mark of 20 snipes and 235 shots, both set last season. Still, he's cruising at close to a point-per-game, so we'll gladly put him over the boards every chance we can.

Dahlin notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has nine assists over his last six games, including a trio of power-play helpers. The 24-year-old defenseman had a shot that led to a Jason Zucker goal on the rebound for the Sabres' lone tally in Saturday's contest. Dahlin is up to 28 points (11 on the power play), 92 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 37 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 32 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Dahlin posted an even-strength assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin registered the secondary assist on Peyton Krebs' fourth goal of the campaign in the opening frame. Dahlin has accumulated seven helpers during his three-game point streak, which follows up a five-game stretch in which Dahlin was held off the scoresheet entirely. The smooth-skating blueliner is leading Buffalo's back end in scoring with six goals and 26 points through 29 appearances, and he's tied for third overall on the team. That's an impressive feat considering the 24-year-old has missed eight games this season due to back spasms. Dahlin will attempt to keep it rolling against the Stars on Tuesday.

Dahlin logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

With six helpers, a plus-7 rating and three blocked shots over his last two games, it looks like Dahlin is back in form after a bout of back spasms cost him eight of nine contests from Dec. 5-21. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 25 points, 83 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 28 appearances. Dahlin should benefit from not having any back-to-backs over the next five games, which should help prevent any lingering issues from cropping up.

Dahlin registered four assists, one shot on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin sat out Saturday's 3-1 loss to Boston after returning from a seven-game absence due to a back issue against Toronto on Friday. The Sabres didn't want him playing in both games of the back-to-back situation, and the additional rest appeared beneficial. Dahlin didn't have a point in five straight outings before breaking out in Monday's win, helping Buffalo end a woeful 13-game losing streak. He has six goals and 17 helpers through 27 appearances this season.

Dahlin's absence from Saturday's 3-1 loss to Boston was planned, according to coach Lindy Ruff. The 24-year-old defenseman returned from a back injury Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin logged 27:33 of ice time in Friday's 6-3 loss to Toronto, but Ruff didn't want him to play on consecutive days so soon after returning from injury. Dahlin missed seven straight games from Dec. 5-17. He'll presumably be back in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Islanders, which might result in Jacob Bryson, who logged 13:56 of ice time versus the Bruins, being a healthy scratch.

Dahlin, who returned from a back injury Friday, won't be in the lineup for Saturday's tilt against Boston, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Buffalo may have chosen not to play Dahlin in consecutive nights so soon after recovering from injury, per Lysowski. The 24-year-old Dahlin logged 27:33 of ice time in his return from a seven-game absence in Friday's 6-3 loss to Toronto, recording five shots and one hit. With Dahlin and Dennis Gilbert coming out of Saturday's lineup, Jacob Bryson and Henri Jokiharju will play against Boston.

Dahlin (back) will be available for Friday's matchup against Toronto, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahlin has been sidelined since early December due to back spasms, but he's trended in the right direction lately, and head coach Lindy Ruff confirmed Thursday that the 24-year-old blueliner will be back in action for the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Over his first 25 appearances of the season, Dahlin racked up six goals, 13 assists, 36 blocked shots, 26 hits and 18 PIM while averaging 24:42 of ice time.
