Horvat Returns for Islanders’ Clash Against Rangers
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin will miss the game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday evening. The absence is due to personal reasons, as he is attending to his fiancée, Carolina, in Sweden. Coach Lindy Ruff stated that Dahlin “should be back shortly,” as Carolina is recovering from a heart transplant she underwent last summer.
Dahlin’s Impact on the Sabres
Dahlin’s role with the Sabres is crucial. He currently ranks third on the team with a total of 28 points. This tally includes four goals and 24 assists over 33 games this season.
Upcoming Schedule
The Sabres are set to embark on a three-game road trip. They will face the St. Louis Blues on Monday. The team is optimistic about Dahlin’s return during this stretch.
Jason Zucker’s Progress
Forward Jason Zucker has recently rejoined the team for morning skate. This marks his return after suffering from upper- and lower-body injuries sustained during a game against the Calgary Flames on December 8. Zucker has accumulated 18 points this season, scoring nine goals and providing nine assists in 21 games.
Future Plans
- Zucker has not set a specific date for his return to full competition.
- He plans to evaluate his recovery on a daily basis.
The Sabres are hopeful for the return of both Dahlin and Zucker as they look to secure vital points in their upcoming games.
