Power exited Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in the third period due to an illness but was back at practice on Sunday and will be in the lineup on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 22-year-old defenseman is riding a four-game point streak, scoring six points (1G / 5A).
Power suffered an undisclosed injury last week and, after receiving further evaluations and imaging, has been placed on IR and ruled out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. The 21-year-old Power has 18 points (2G / 16A) in 51 games this season. Power, previously the occupant of the quarterback position on the second powerplay unit, has been replaced by Henri Jokiharju.

The first overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Power is coming off an impressive rookie season. The 20-year-old registered four goals and 31 assists in 79 games despite receiving limited power-play minutes, and was a reliable defender in his own end. The lack of power-play time may not improve so long as Rasmus Dahlin is still in town, but Power nevertheless seems poised for a breakout year in 2023-24.
Power has missed the Sabres previous three games due to a lower-body injury and will return Thursday vs. the Red Wings. The rookie defender has had a strong opening season, with 10 assists, 42 SOG, 16 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus in 29 games played prior to the injury.
