Power provided a pair of assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks. - Power did a good job of driving play when on the ice Friday. He has six helpers over his last six games, though he's also posted a minus-1 rating in that span as the defensive side of his game could still use some work. The 22-year-old blueliner is up to 15 points, 33 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 20 appearances, putting him on track to shatter his career high of 35 points from his rookie year in 2022-23. |

Power scored a goal on six shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. - Power cut New York's lead to one late in the third period, but it wasn't enough as Buffalo fell short of pulling off a two-goal comeback. The 21-year-old defenseman extended his point streak to six games after tallying Friday, and he's racked up two goals and six assists during that span. The left-shot blueliner is making great strides in his fourth NHL season -- he's tied for second on the team in points with nine. Overall, Power has generated three goals, six assists, 24 shots,16 blocks, six hits and four takeaways across 11 appearances. |

Power delivered three assists with one shot, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars. - The 21-year-old blueliner had a hand in Buffalo's first three goals on the night, giving Power his first multi-point performance of the season. He's had a strong start to the campaign, racking up two goals and six points in eight games, and he's done it without the benefit of any power-play production. As long as Rasmus Dahlin is healthy though, Power will remain limited to the Sabres' second unit despite his offensive talent. |

Power logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Power has a goal and an assist over the last two games. The 21-year-old defenseman is up to three points, 11 shots on net, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through seven outings. He's taken some time to get his offense going, but there's no doubt about his ability to handle top-four minutes and power-play time. Power should be rostered in deeper fantasy formats, though he could gain widespread appeal if he can take his offense to another level this year. |

Power scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets. - Power's offense hasn't popped yet this season, but he's been fine with two goals over six games. He's added 11 shots on net, eight blocked shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-four role. Power remains on the second power-play unit, but fellow blueliners Rasmus Dahlin and Bowen Byram are also factors with the man advantage. The 21-year-old Power remains a strong option for dynasty formats, and he's a fine depth option in redraft leagues as well. |

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. |

Power recorded an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils. - Power snapped a three-game point drought by helping out on John-Jason Peterka's empty-net goal in the third period. The 21-year-old Power has otherwise had a solid March with nine points over 14 contests, accounting for nearly a third of his production all season. He's at 29 points, 96 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 68 outings overall. |

Power notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks. - Power has four points over his last four contests. The 21-year-old defenseman continues to find ways to chip in while serving in a top-four role. He's up to 28 points, 91 shots on net, 96 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 64 appearances. He likely doesn't have time to match last year's 35-point campaign, but a late surge on offense could change that. |

Power scored a goal on two shots, blocked five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken. - A John-Jason Peterka shot pinged off the post after multiple deflections, and Power was there to pot the rebound midway through the second period. The 21-year-old Power has three goals and four assists over nine outings in March. The arrival of Bowen Byram via trade has cut into Power's playing time a bit, but the Sabres have found room for all three of their strong young defensemen. Power has six goals, 27 points, 90 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 63 contests this season. |

Power picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Islanders. - After a scoreless first period, the 21-year-old blueliner helped set up Victor Olofsson for the game's opening tally, which became the eventual game-winner. In 10 games since returning from a hand injury, Power has racked up three goals and eight points, with three of the assists coming on the man advantage, but it will likely be tough for him to maintain that pace given his spot on the second unit while Rasmus Dahlin and Bowen Byram handle first-unit duties. |

Power had a goal and two assists in a 7-2 win over Vegas on Saturday. - Power has 23 points, including 19 assists, in 55 games this season. Five of those points have come in his last four games. Power has struggled to take the next step in his game, but we need to remember that this is just his second full season, and he's only 21. His best is yet to come. |

Power tallied a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 3-2 win over Carolina. - Power logged 23:05 of ice time after missing Buffalo's last six games with a hand injury.

He has two goals, 18 points, 28 hits and 74 blocks in 51 appearances in 2023-24.

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. |

At this point, Power should probably be considered questionable heading into Tuesday's game versus the Kings. If he misses any time, Jacob Bryson will likely slide back into the lineup. |

Power picked up two assists while adding four shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets. - The 21-year-old blueliner produced his first multi-point performance in over a month. Power went most of December stuck in a slump, going 11 straight games without getting onto the scoresheet at all, but he's shaken it off with a goal and four points in the last four contests -- a stretch in which he's also contributed seven shots on net, seven blocked shots, four hits and a stellar plus-8 rating. |

Power scored to complement a plus-5 rating in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Maple Leafs. - The Sabers permitted nine goals with Power skating to a minus-4 rating in the previous tilt against the Blue Jackets, so this was a fine way for the young defenseman to avenge for that poor outing, but his slump was measured beyond that contest. Power, who's in his second full NHL season, hit an 11-game pointless skid before snapping out of it with his goal against the Leafs. He has two goals and 11 assists -- including two on the power play -- plus 54 blocked shots through 34 contests. |

Power recorded two assists in a 5-1 win over the Rangers on Monday. - Power had a quiet stretch offensively from Nov. 3-24 in which he registered three assists over 10 outings, but he seems to be heating back up with three helpers over his last two games. The 21-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Sabres' defense, entering Monday's action averaging 22:47 of ice time per game, but he's not as much of an offensive threat from the blue line as teammate Rasmus Dahlin. Power will still chip in on a semi-regular basis, though. He has a goal and 12 points through 22 outings this year, and that's a scoring pace he should be able to maintain. |

Power registered an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Wild. - Power has one goal, seven helpers and a team-high plus-6 rating through 14 contests. He's drawing attention as the No. 1 overall pick from 2021, but at this juncture, casual fantasy managers are more familiar with Rasmus Dahlin, the Sabres' first overall selection in 2018. Power is averaging 23:22 of ice time compared to 24:25 for the more established blueliner. |

Power signed a seven-year, $58.45 million contract with the Sabres on Wednesday. - Just two days after locking in Rasmus Dahlin with an eight-year extension, the Sabres also got a deal done with Power, solidifying the team's defense corps for the remainder of the decade. Power was solid as a rookie last season, posting four goals, 31 assists, 130 shots on goal and 86 blocked shots in 79 contests. The 20-year-old defenseman should be able to grow into the deal, which begins in 2024-25. |

Power (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Thursday. - Power is back on the ice after missing the previous three games due to his lower-body problem. The blueliner is currently stuck in a seven-game pointless streak during which he has registered 13 shots, 10 PIM and nine blocks. In addition to his even-strength role, Power should get a look with the No. 2 power-play unit, which could help him break through offensively. |

Power (lower body) is "making good progress," but there's no timeline for his return to the lineup, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - At this point it's probably safe to assume Power will be held out through the NHL's holiday break at a minimum.

Power (lower body) won't be available Saturday against Arizona, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports. - Power will miss a second straight game after being hurt in pregame warmups Thursday prior to Buffalo's matchup with Colorado. He is listed as day-to-day after skating for a bit Saturday. Power has produced 10 assists, 42 shots on goal, 37 blocks and 14 hits in 29 games this season. The Sabres brought up Jeremy Davies on Friday to help fill in on the back end. |

Power delivered two assists Saturday in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay. One came on the power play. - Power led all Sabres' scorers and now has five assists in his last four games. And Saturday, he managed it while skating 28:14 as the team's top defender because Rasmus Dahlin (upper body) was a late scratch. It's an impressive feat for a 19-year-old defender against the a three-consecutive Cup finalist and two-time winner. |

Power had two assists and a season-high four shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Penguins. - After totaling only two assists through his first eight games this season, Power has heated up with three helpers over the last two games. The recent uptick is encouraging, but Power's still searching for his first goal of the season after lighting the lamp twice in eight games with Buffalo last year. The 2021 first overall pick has immense long-term upside, but managers in redraft formats may be reluctant to deal with Power's growing pains. |

Power produced an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Red Wings. - Power wasn't that involved in the blowout, but he set up a Dylan Cozens goal in the third period.

Power produced two assists, including one while shorthanded, in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames. - Power was credited with the secondary helper on Casey Mittelstadt's shorthanded tally in the first period. In the second, Power set up the first of Alex Tuch's three goals in the game. It had been a quiet start to the season for Power, who didn't log a point in the first three games.

Power scored his first NHL goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils. - Power gave the Sabres a 4-2 lead in the third period by lighting the lamp for the first time in his fifth NHL game. He was the second first overall pick on the blue line to score a goal for Buffalo in the game, as Rasmus Dahlin did so earlier in the night. Between picking Power in 2021 and selecting Dahlin in 2018, the Sabres should have two franchise cornerstones on defense for years to come, assuming they avoid another Jack Eichel-like situation. |

Power logged an assist in 23:10 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to St. Louis. - Power was able to get on the scoresheet in his second NHL game, assisting on an Alex Tuch goal in the second period. The 2021 first overall pick also added three shots while playing on Buffalo's second pairing. Still only 19 years old, Power has certainly looked capable against NHL competition. With his combination of size, vision and skating ability, he has the potential to become a high-level fantasy defenseman. |
