Story summary

Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff listed captain Rasmus Dahlin as day to day after the defenseman left a recent game against the Florida Panthers with an undisclosed injury. Without specifying the nature of the injury, which occurred early in the second period when Dahlin was following through on taking a shot, Ruff stated that Dahlin will remain home and won’t join the team for its upcoming three-game road trip starting in Montreal on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice revealed that starting goalie Jacob Markstrom was removed after the first period when he felt something tighten up. Though Maurice said there was no injury involved, Markstrom allowed two goals on 11 shots and was replaced by Akira Schmid for the second period. It remains unclear if Markstrom will be ready to play or even serve as a backup in Florida’s game at Columbus on Tuesday night.
