Swedish players hope Dahlin joins World Championship squad

Swedish national team players have voiced their support for defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to join the ongoing World Championship in Switzerland. Dahlin's Buffalo Sabres were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs by the Montreal Canadiens. Teammates praised his resilience amid personal challenges.

Rasmus Dahlin recorded 14 points in 13 playoff games before Buffalo's seven-game loss to Montreal. The 26-year-old also posted 74 points in 77 regular-season games and is a Norris Trophy candidate. His season stood out given the family's difficulties, including his partner's heart transplant last year and the loss of their unborn child.
