This Sabres star is playing some incredible hockey right now.
After a disastrous 13-game winless streak, the Buffalo Sabres are getting things back on track. After beating the New York Islanders by a 7-1 score on Dec. 23, the Sabres defeated the Chicago Blackhawks by a 6-2 final score on Dec. 27.
Rasmus Dahlin is a significant reason for the Sabres' recent success, as he is simply dominating right now. After posting a four-assist night against the Islanders, he had two assists against the Blackhawks. With this, he has made some team history in the process.
According to Buffalo Sabres PR, Dahlin was the first Sabres player to have at least six assists over a two-game span since Brian Campbell (Oct. 11 to Oct. 13, 2007). In addition, Dahlin became just the third Sabre to accomplish this feat since 1995, joining Campbell and Maxim Afinogenov.
Due to his incredible hot stretch of play, Dahlin now has six goals, 25 points, and a plus-10 rating in 28 games this campaign. It will be fascinating to see how he builds on it from here.
