Sabres' Owen Power: Returning Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Sabres' Owen Power: No timeline for return
Rotowire
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. Kale Clague will likely continue to see top-four usage until Power, who's collected 10 helpers through 29 games this season, is ready to return.

Rotowire
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.

Sabres' Owen Power: Records first NHL point
Rotowire
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.
