Rasmus Dahlin recently became the NHL’s second highest paid defenseman.
Tonight he showed why, with his incredible solo goal.
“What a goal,” writes a supporter on social media.
It was just over a month ago Rasmus Dahlin, 23, signed his new contract with the Buffalo Sabres. The eight-year agreement is worth a total of more than SEK 950 million, with an annual salary of SEK 120 million. That makes Dahlin the seventh highest paid player in the entire league.
After Karlsson
The 23-year-old also became the NHL’s second-highest paid defenseman. The highest paid back is none other than Erik Karlsson, 33, who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has an annual salary of just over SEK 126 million. Dahlin got his new million dollar contract after scoring 73 points in 75 games last season.

The former Frölunda player hasn’t started this season quite so well either. In thirteen games, there have been eleven points (three goals and eight assists). During October Monday, Dahlin scored in eight straight games. A nice scoring streak that unfortunately came to an end in the meeting with the Philadelphia Flyers in November.
Dahlin’s dream goal
Last night Rasmus showed again why he is one of the highest paid in the NHL.
Buffalo lost in overtime to the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2, but as consolation Dahlin accounted for a really delicious solo goal. The Swede passed himself through the wall on the rink and was able to drive forward and hit the puck into the goal. A goal that you see below.

Now he is widely praised for the performance.
“Rasmus Dahlin’s one-man show,” writes the NHL profile Pete Blackburn on X/Twitter.
“He does it all on his own,” writes one supporter.
“Sick goal by Rasmus Dahlin,” writes another.
“THAT is the Dahlin we know and love,” says a third.
Buffalo is now in sixth place in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.
