Dahlin's Grit Earns Masterton Nod

Buffalo's captain Rasmus Dahlin lands among the finalists for the Masterton Trophy, the award that honors the NHL's ultimate warrior for perseverance through hell and back. Those who've watched him battle injuries and anchor a Sabres blue line in rebuild purgatory know this isn't just a pat on the back - it's league-wide respect from players who've seen it all. The full nominee list drops soon, and Dahlin's story carries real weight in a field of battle-tested pros.
