BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff gave a positive update on defenseman Rasmus Dahlin after he missed the second day of practice on Thursday.
"Doing well," Ruff said. "Just will probably miss a couple days of practice. So, nothing too serious."
This update is now coming after Dahlin sustained an injury at the start of practice on Wednesday morning. Dahlin left the first session and did not return to the ice for the rest of practice.
The former first-overall pick was then spotted at practice on Thursday morning watching the first session from the bench. Defenseman Ryan Johnson was also seen skating with the first group on Thursday in his place.
The Sabres will now look to one final day of scrimmaging and practice ahead of the team's first preseason game on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Puck drop for Saturday's preseason game is set for 7 p.m. inside the KeyBank Center.
