Rasmus Dahlin Returns to Sabres After Leave to Be With Fiancée

Buffalo cleared a roster spot by reassigning Zac Jones to AHL Rochester.

Overview

  • The captain rejoined the team in Detroit on Nov. 15 after a three-game absence and took part in the morning skate.
  • He left Nov. 7 to be with Carolina Matovac in Sweden as she continues recovery from a summer heart transplant following sudden heart failure discovered in France.
  • Coach Lindy Ruff called the comeback a jolt for a club that went 0-3-0 without him and is 0-10-2 without him since December.
  • Before stepping away, Dahlin logged nine points in 14 games, averaged more than 24 minutes, and anchored the top pairing, power play, and penalty kill.
  • Jones, who was recalled during Dahlin’s leave, was returned to Rochester without appearing in a game.
