Report: Owen Power to represent Canada at Olympics

Buffalo Sabres prospect and 2021 No. 1 overall pick Owen Power will play for Canada at the Beijing Olympics, The Athletic's Corey Pronman reports.

Power is the first player to be named to the team after the NHL pulled out of the Games last month.

The 19-year-old has racked up 23 points in 18 games with Michigan this season. He had five points in two world junior appearances - including the first hat trick ever by a Canadian defenseman - before the event was canceled due to the pandemic.

Power won gold at the world championships in May.
