Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin is taking a temporary leave from the team to be with his fiancee in Sweden, head coach Lindy Ruff announced Friday.
Dahlin's financee, Carolina, underwent a lifesaving heart transplant over the summer. Ruff said Dahlin assured him everything's OK before the star blue-liner headed back to his home country.
There's no timeline on when Dahlin may return.
