Deemed week-to-week Power is considered week-to-week with a hand injury, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Impact 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.

Impact Power has managed just one assist in his last nine contests while recording 15 shots and averaging 23:34 of ice time. At this point, Power should probably be considered questionable heading into Tuesday's clash with the Kings. If he does miss any time, Jacob Bryson will likely slide back into the lineup.

Two helpers in OT win 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.
Impact 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.

Incredibly efficient against Toronto Power scored to complement a plus-5 rating in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact The Sabers permitted nine goals with Power skating to a minus-4 rating in the previous tilt against the Blue Jackets, so his fantasy managers must have been thrilled to see him get back on the horse. 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, 11 assists -- including two on the power play -- and 54 blocked shots through 34 contests.

Collects two assists in win Power recorded two assists in a 5-1 win over the Rangers on Monday.
Impact 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, 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.

Flashes two-way game Power registered an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Impact 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.

Impact Power now has two helpers through his first three games after setting up Jeff Skinner's first-period tally Tuesday. The 20-year-old Power signed a seven-year extension with Buffalo in the offseason after tallying 35 points (four goals, 31 assists) in his first full NHL season. He's opened the 2023-24 campaign with Henri Jokiharju on the Sabres second defensive pairing while getting work on the second power-play unit.

In the span of three days, the Buffalo Sabres locked up their two star defensemen after signing Owen Power to a seven-year contract extension worth $58.45 millionOCTOBER 12, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Signs seven-year deal Power signed a seven-year, $58.45 million contract with the Sabres on Wednesday.
Impact 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.

Impact The first overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft has had some growing pains in his first full season with the Sabres, including his current 23-game goal drought, but Power has still been flashing his upside down the stretch. Over the last 12 games, the 20-year-old blueliner has 10 helpers, and he's up to four goals and 34 points through 74 contests.
