The Buffalo Sabres have picked defenceman Owen Power first overall in the NHL entry draft.
The six-foot-six, 213-pound blueliner from Mississauga, Ont., played at the University of Michigan last season, scoring three goals and adding 13 assists in 26 games during his freshman season before being selected to Team Canada for the men’s world hockey championships in May. He was the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau’s top-ranked North American prospect.
