Sabres defenseman Owen Power had his biggest fan in attendance against the Maple Leafs - his 93-year-old grandmother

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power played well in last night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, earning two points.

But there was something else that made the game special for him, as his 93-year-old grandmother Yvonne was present to cheer him on. Yvonne was a Buffalo fan even before her grandson started playing for them, but his presence on the roster undoubtedly makes their games even more exciting.

Power has four goals and 22 assists this season for a total of 26 points, impressive for a defenseman. Yvonne will doubtless be proud of her grandson, who is a rising star in the NHL world.

Owen Power and the Sabres' performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs

Owen Power had an impressive game, as he logged two assists in the Buffalo Sabres' 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The rookie defenseman played a crucial role in the victory by setting up Jack Quinn's goal in the second period and assisting Alex Tuch's score in the third.

This was Owen Power's first multi-point game since December 29, and it showcased his ability to contribute offensively. Throughout the season, he has been a decent player going forward, as his four goals and 22 assists demonstrate.

Power's strong performance on Monday helped the Sabres secure an important win, and it's clear that he is becoming a key player. As a rookie, he has shown a lot of promise, and his ability to make plays and create scoring opportunities is sure to make him a fan favorite in Buffalo.

The Sabres are fifth in the Atlantic Division and still harbor hopes for the playoffs. They will need to rack together the wins and play at a consistently high level if they are to make it, not to mention make some noise once they get there. They're 4-5-1 in their last 10, which sums up their season in many ways.

They play the Washington Capitals on Wednesday, who find themselves in a similar position in the Metropolitan Division. This should be a high-intensity matchup for the neutrals to enjoy.
