Rasmus Dahlin out indefinitely with concussion

Things keep on going south for the Buffalo Sabres.

Not only have they lost 11 of their past 13 games, but to add insult to injury they found out their star defenceman will be sidelined for a while.

The team confirmed that 2018 first overall pick Rasmus Dahlin will be out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a concussion.

The 19-year old Swede, who is in his second NHL season, sustained the head injury when he was elbowed by Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak during the team’s 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier this week. Cernak ended up being punished by the league with a two-game suspension that began on Wednesday vs the Blues.

Dahlin has posted a goal, 15 assists and a plus-2 rating in 24 games this season.
