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.

Sabres' Owen Power: Three-point night Tuesday
Rotowire
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 appearances, and he's done it without the benefit of any power-play production. However, as long as Rasmus Dahlin is healthy, Power will remain limited to the Sabres' second unit despite his offensive talent.

Sabres' Owen Power: Sends assist in win
Rotowire
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.

Sabres' Owen Power: Banks second goal
Rotowire
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.

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.
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.

Sabres' Owen Power: Plucks apple in loss
Rotowire
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 enough time to match last year's 35-point campaign, but a late surge on offense could change that.

Sabres' Owen Power: Scores in Monday's win
Rotowire
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.

Sabres' Owen Power: Two helpers against Isles
Rotowire
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.

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.
