Dec. 23 – Dahlin back in lineup vs. Islanders

After missing Saturday's game at Boston, Rasmus Dahlin will return to the lineup Monday at the Islanders.

"That's not what I want to do," Dahlin said of sitting Saturday after returning from back spasms Friday. "But at the same time, you have to look forward, and a back-to-back coming back from injury is never a good thing. I felt how I felt in my back, and it was the right call by the doc. I'm ready to go. ... I'm not going to miss one more game this year, knock on wood."
