Dahlin scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Saturday's 4-3 win over Carolina.
The blueliner had a hand in each of Buffalo's first three goals on the afternoon, setting the stage for some third-period heroics by Tage Thompson. Dahlin snapped a 28-game goal drought with his second-period tally, as he recorded his first multi-point performance since Feb. 23, but the late swoon takes nothing away from his career-best numbers. On the season, the 22-year-old has 15 goals and 72 points in 74 games.
Dahlin produced a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Devils.
Dahlin now has 18 points in 17 career games against New Jersey, and that's the most he's put up against any team. On the season, the electrifying blueliner has amassed 14 goals, 51 assists and 30 power-play points through 67 contests. Those are all career highs, as is the lesser-known figure of 113 blocked shots. Remember, Dahlin is just 22 years old but he's already in his fifth season -- it'll be fun to uncover the full scope of his immense potential and to see the type of deal he'll command after banking $6 million AAV on his first (three-year) standard contract.
