My latest column from Chicago: At an early time of crisis for #Sabres, Rasmus Dahlin is making it a point of carrying the team. Said Erik Johnson: “Future captain on the team for sure.” https://t.co/qBT7cHQ6vn
Dahlin led the Sabres to a much needed win. https://t.co/zwpAxkVRsD

Stat oddity: Dahlin 1-2-3 as his team wins 3-2 -- but ends up with an even-rating. On ice for one each way at even and one PPG for. So that combines for an even. Got an assist on last goal but not a plus as he passed to Mittelstadt and then went to the bench. Again, even. #Sabres
The final wrap from United Center: Erik Johnson makes the play #Sabres need to secure win over #Blackhawks. "Outstanding, but what was underneath all that, inside all that was his determination. He knew we needed somebody to step up." https://t.co/VZmi0bT9YL
#Sabres go 8th to 6th in division and 15th-13th in East. Baby steps. Obviously below where they should be. Still, only three points out of playoff spot. Forwards have to be better without Thompson. More step up needed -- like they're getting from Dahlin.
Massive win for the Sabres. Now they need to string some together to make a climb. Teams in playoff positions around Thanksgiving/early December usually stay there.
