Rasmus Dahlin is day to day because of an upper-body injury and is not expected to play for the Sabres at the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday (6:30 p.m. ET; RDS, TSN2, MSG-B). The defenseman appeared to sustain the injury while taking a slap shot early in the second period of a 5-3 win against the Florida Panthers at KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Monday. "They (can) treat him better here," coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "He doesn't have to get on an airplane right now. Obviously, that probably rules him out for tomorrow." Dahlin, the Sabres captain, has two goals and two assists in six games while averaging 23:38 of ice time.
