Buffalo Sabres stunned as Rasmus Dahlin takes personal leave

Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin is taking an indefinite leave for personal reasons to be with his fiancée, Carolina Matovac, who is recovering from a heart transplant. Coach Lindy Ruff confirmed Matovac’s condition is stable, and the team fully supports Dahlin’s decision. Defensive duties will likely fall to Owen Power and Mattias Samuelsson as the Sabres navigate this challenging period.
