The Buffalo Sabres captain recently took a leave of absence to care for his wife. It's an example of continued progress in bringing humanity to sports.
Two assists were provided in the Buffalo Sabres' overtime victory on Saturday night by captain Rasmus Dahlin. He had recently returned to the team after taking leave in Sweden. The assists and victory were a positive, but it meant much more given what Dahlin has been dealing with.
He returned to Sweden to care for his wife who had a heart transplant.
