Rasmus Dahlin will represent the Buffalo Sabres in the 2022 All-Star Game

The season hasn’t gone the Buffalo Sabres‘ way in 2021-22. But that doesn’t mean Sabres fans can’t treat themselves to watching one of the team’s brightest stars grace the ice at T-Mobile Arena on February 5th.

Dahlin, a Calder Memorial Trophy nominee following his rookie season in 2018-19, has improved many facets of his game since. He has cut down substantially on turnovers over the past four seasons, and his shooting percentage has climbed. With 28 points, seven goals, and 21 assists, Dahlin is on pace to shatter his previous career-highs.

This Saturday, he puts his skills to the test in the All-Star Game against some of the NHL’s best players. Look for Dahlin to continue his two-way prowess, finding open skaters when in control of the puck and disrupting a few plays when in the defensive zone. Here are three bold predictions for Dahlin in the 2022 All-Star Game.
