New Injury Forces Rasmus Dahlin To Leave Sabres Scrimmage

The Buffalo Sabres have very big expectations heading into the new season. Those expectations center around Rasmus Dahlin playing like the elite talent he is. Now a new injury has gotten his campaign off toa frustrating start.

The Buffalo Sabres held an intrasquad scrimmage to get themselves prepared for the preseason. During the scrimmage superstar defenseman Rasmus Dahlin suffered a scary injury.

And in the last 10 seconds of the scrimmage, Rasmus Dahlin went off the ice..it looked like he got hit in the hand. Woo boy. #Sabres

For Sabres fans Rasmus Dahlin getting injured is one of the worst-case scenarios for the start of the season. He is their workhorse on defense consistently playing the most minutes and creating a ton of chances offensively.

After practice Rasmus Dahlin was able to meet with the media. During this media availability, he gave an update on his condition.

This will be a huge sigh of relief for the Buffalo Sabres and their fans. Rasmus Dahlin is part of a young core for the Sabres that is trying to turn around the culture. The Sabres have not made the playoffs in over a decade now. According to Dahlin though that is the only acceptable expectation for the coming season.

Rasmus Dahlin on Sabres expectations: "It's go time. We don't have excuses anymore ... I want to have a longer season this year."

The Sabres will look to flip the narrative on their team for the upcoming season. A young core led by Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Devon Levi, and many others is primed for a big season.
