Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was added to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list on Monday.
The addition of Dahlin puts the Sabres’ total on the list at nine players and their head coach. He joins forwards Taylor Hall, Tobias Rieder, Dylan Cozens, Curtis Lazar and Casey Mittelstadt, defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen, Brandon Montour and Jake McCabe as well as coach Ralph Krueger in the protocol.
Like his teammates, Dahlin will not be available for practices, travel or games until he is removed from the list.
