Rasmus Dahlin, a player for the Buffalo Sabres, has been dealing with a lower-body injury. Don Granato, the coach, mentioned that Dahlin was day-to-day with the injury. However, Dahlin expressed feeling better and emphasized his desire to play, but he still needed medical clearance. Despite the injury getting worse, Dahlin stated that he felt really good and was hoping to play. Eventually, it was confirmed that Dahlin would return for the game that night. Additionally, there were updates on other players' injuries, with Alex Tuch and Jordan Greenway showing progress and potentially being available for the upcoming road trip, while Zemgus Girgensons had a setback in his recovery.

Granato said Alex Tuch and Jordan Greenway have progressed and it looks like they "have a chance to play" later in next week's road trip. Zemgus Girgensons was a week or so away but Granato said it might be "a little more than that now."
Don Granato said Zemgus Girgensons has "flat-lined" a bit in his recovery. Alex Tuch and Jordan Greenway could be available later in the #Sabres' upcoming road trip.
Granato said there's been progress on Tuch and Greenway and they could play later on the trip coming up next week, but Girgenson's progress has flatlined, so he may be longer.
Sounds like Zemgus Girgensons had a setback in his recovery from a lower-body injury. He was a week or so away. Looks like it will be longer. Alex Tuch and Jordan Greenway have progressed to the point that the Sabres hope they can play next week in Vegas and/or Arizona.
Don Granato says Dahlin is in tonight. They'll go with six defensemen tonight and Ryan Johnson will come out.
Rasmus Dahlin said he still needs to be cleared but he feels really good. Said he'd been playing through the injury and it was getting worse so he had to let it heal.
Rasmus Dahlin emphasized he feels much better. He clearly wants to play. He still, however, needs clearance. #Sabres
Rasmus Dahlin stressed to reporters that he felt really good after the skate. Still needs to be cleared by the medical staff to play. He's been dealing with the lower-body injury for a bit and it kept getting worse.
Dahlin said he still needs final clearance for tonight, but he said, "I feel really, really, really good."
Granato said Dahlin told him he's feeling better and is a possibility for tomorrow, but Luukkonen is still day-to-day and won't play tomorrow.
