Rasmus Dahlin is all that and a bag of Swedish Fish.
The 2018 first overall pick continues to drop jaws with his awe inspiring play this season.
With his second period assists on Victor Olofsson's second period assist on Tuesday night in Ottawa, the 19 year old sensational sophomore passed Ray Bourque for the second most points by a teenage defenseman in NHL history.
Dahlin joins his former head coach Phil Housley as just the second teenage defenseman in NHL history to score 80 or more points.
Dahlin's 32 assists this season are second only to Jack Eichel's 41 assists. Despite missing 10 games with a concussion earlier this season, Dahlin is second in scoring on the Sabres with 36 (4G,32A) points. Jack Eichel leads the Sabres with 75 points. During his rookie NHL season, Dahlin potted 9 goals and 35 assists for 44 points.
With his assist Sunday night against Toronto, Dahlin tied Ray Bourque (79) for the second-most points recorded by an NHL defenseman before his 20th birthday.
Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad’s 61 points (22G,39A) in 129 games as a teenager led active NHL defensemen for most points before turning 20 until Dahlin recorded his 62nd point with an assist in his 108th NHL game on December 14 at NY Islanders.
