Ludwig-Imagn Images) Buffalo Sabres [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/author/michael-derosa] defenseman Owen Power is an important part of the club's future. The Sabres [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwl-DfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen]selected him as the first overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, and he is continuing to develop at the NHL level. As a 22-year-old defenseman, Power naturally has had some bumps along the way as he works on growing his game. However, at the same time, he is continuing to hit new levels. In 66 games this season, the Mississauga, Ontario native already has seven goals - a new career-high - to go along with 28 assists and 35 points. There is also a good chance that he will hit more career highs before the season is over. Power needs just four more assists and one more point to reach new career highs. He set his current ones of 31 assists and 35 points during the 2022-23 season in 79 games. When noting that the Sabres have 16 games left this season, Power undoubtedly has a real shot of hitting both of these new career highs before the season is over. He is also red-hot, too, as he has four points in his last three games. This includes recording a goal and two assists in the Sabres' last matchup against the Boston Bruins on March 17. Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to see if Power hits these new career highs from here.
