Dahlin logged two assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
Dahlin set up a power-play goal by Alex Tuch and an even-strength tally from Sam Lafferty, with both goals coming in the third period.

The defenseman is up to 68 points (17 goals, 51 assists), 196 shots on net, 97 hits, 97 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 71 appearances. That point total ranks fourth among all blueliners, so it's possible Dahlin gets a little Norris Trophy consideration, though he's far from a lock to be a finalist.
