We received concerning news about Buffalo Sabres star Rasmus Dahlin, who left the team’s first practice with an injury. With no immediate update, it was unclear what to expect, but it appears Dahlin won’t miss much time unless an unexpected setback occurs.
For now, the injury crisis seems to be averted, though it’s a stark reminder of how quickly a team’s optimism can fade when a key player gets hurt so early. However, it’s not uncommon for a star like Dahlin to be sidelined during camp to ensure he’s fully healthy for the start of the season next month.
Hopefully, Dahlin’s minor scare will be the only one of the preseason, as the Sabres can’t afford to deal with early injuries like last year. If you recall, they constantly had to call up players from the Rochester Americans throughout October and November to cover for the injury issues that plagued the team.
