Power brings steady two-way floor into favorable home matchup against Blue Jackets
Owen Power and the Sabres host the Columbus Blue Jackets at KeyBank Center tonight in what shapes up as a higher-scoring home tilt where Buffalo is favored. Columbus turns to Jet Greaves (confirmed) in net to face Buffalo (7-5-3), who hold a slight edge in the standings over Columbus (7-7-0). Power continues to log heavy top-pairing ice time at even strength while contributing on the second power-play unit. With no new injury updates or role changes to report, Power enters having notched three assists and 10 blocked shots over his last five outings.
Our projection for tonight anticipates Power generating ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and ~1–2 blocked shots, which translates to approximately 2.6 fantasy points. While secondary power-play usage limits his explosive ceiling, his heavy five-on-five minutes and steady shot blocking establish a reliable floor. Across Buffalo’s three-game weekly schedule, tonight marks the second contest, leaving one final matchup remaining after tonight against Vegas. Given his stable role and dependable floor in an advantageous home spot, today’s action: Start.
