Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was selected to the 2025-26 NHL Second All-Star Team, the league announced Friday.
The captain also finished third in Norris Trophy voting after ranking sixth among NHL defensemen with 74 points (19+55), a career high. He added 67 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating in 77 games, leading the Sabres to an Atlantic Division title and their first playoff appearance since 2011.
