Rasmus Dahlin - Dealing with lower-body injury Dahlin is battling a lower-body injury and is questionable for Thursday's contest versus Boston as a result, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Impact Dahlin is still being evaluated, so there's no timetable for his recovery yet. The 23-year-old defenseman is a key member of the Sabres, contributing six goals, 21 points, 47 hits and 48 blocks in 26 contests while averaging 25:05 of ice time this season. If Dahlin misses time, then Owen Power might move up to the first power-play unit while Ryan Johnson might draw into the lineup.

Jeff Skinner - Two points in Tuesday's loss Skinner scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Both points came late in the game as Buffalo tried to rally from a 4-0 deficit, but Skinner's tally midway through the third period on an impressive individual effort was the Sabres' last gasp on offense. The performance snapped a brief three-game point drought for the veteran winger, and while Skinner isn't quite matching last season's pace, he still has 11 goals and 20 points through 26 contests to begin 2023-24.

The 28-year-old netminder has lost four straight appearances since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-November, stumbling to a woeful 5.17 GAA and .827 save percentage during that time.
