Rasmus Dahlin Out Saturday (Personal), Expected Back for Road Trip

Rasmus Dahlin (personal) will miss Saturday's game against Boston as he returns from Sweden after the holiday break. Head coach Lindy Ruff indicated he is doubtful for the game but should be back for the upcoming three-game road trip. Bowen Byram is expected to replace Dahlin on the top defensive pairing and first power-play unit. Dahlin has recorded four goals, 28 points, 88 shots, 41 blocked shots, and 27 hits across 33 appearances this season for the Buffalo Sabres.
