Rasmus Dahlin Ready to Lead Buffalo Sabres After Historic Season

Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin arrived at training camp with a refreshed mindset and high expectations following an Atlantic Division title and their first playoff series win since 2007. Entering his ninth season, Dahlin highlighted his focus on hockey after personal off-season challenges were resolved. GM Jarmo Kekalainen and the young Sabres roster are banking on internal growth and a scrappy identity as they prepare to open their 2026-27 campaign against Columbus.
