The defenseman is up to 29 points, 105 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating across 54 appearances. He's earned just two of his points on the power play, but he remains on track for a career year that could end up north of the 40-point mark.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Power scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Power has 19 points, 53 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 29 outings, though there may still be some teachable moments ahead if the team continues to struggle.

Sabres' Owen Power: Scores goal Friday
Rotowire
Power scored the Sabres' lone goal in Friday's 4-1 defeat against New Jersey.
Power is well on his way to surpassing his career-high six goals he put up last season and should once again be capable of reaching the 30-point threshold. The blueliner would certainly benefit from running Buffalo's No. 2 power-play unit but may have to share those responsibilities with Bowen Byram -- especially with Rasmus Dahlin firmly entrenched with the No. 1 group.

Sabres' Owen Power: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Power is considered week-to-week with a hand injury, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Given the length of Power's expected absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the coming days. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2021 Draft has been a bit disappointing from an offensive standpoint this season, picking up only two goals and 18 points through 51 games after tallying four goals and 35 points through 79 contests as a rookie in 2022-23, but he still has a bright future ahead of him. Henri Jokiharju will likely see an expanded role during Power's absence.

Power scored a goal to complement a plus-5 rating and three blocked shots in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
The Sabres allowed nine goals with Power skating to a minus-4 rating in the team's previous game against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, so this was a fine way for the young defenseman to balance out that poor outing.

He has two goals and 11 assists, including two on the power play, plus 54 blocked shots through 34 contests.
