A FRESH FACE On Oct. vs. Boston, Rasmus Dahlin (8 years, 75 days) became the second-youngest player ever to appear in a game with the Sabres, behind only fellow No. pick Pierre Turgeon (8 years, days on Oct. 8, 987 vs. Minnesota). Dahlin skated :37 in his debut, marking the highest ice time recorded by a Sabres player making his NHL debut and the sthighest ice time by any NHL player in his first game since the league began tracking ice time in the season. With his assist on Oct. vs. Colorado, Dahlin became the second-youngest player (8 years, 75 days) in franchise history to record a point, behind only Turgeon (8 years, days on Oct., 987 vs. Washington). Dahlin scored his first NHL goal on Oct. 3 at Arizona, becoming the second-youngest player (8 years, 83 days) in franchise history to score, behind only Turgeon (Oct., 987 vs. Hartford). He was the youngest defenseman in 3 years to score an NHL goal. His goal came exactly 3 years after Doug Bodger (8 years, 7 days) became the youngest defenseman in the expansion era (since ) to score his first NHL goal (Oct. 3, 98). With the goal, he also became the third-youngest defenseman in NHL history to record a game-winner, trailing only Craig Wolanin of the New Jersey Devils (/9/85 at Minnesota) and Red Garrett of the New York Rangers (/5/ at Detroit).
