It’s wrong so far. Power has the same amount of goals and 3 less points in one less game this season.
Beniers is a nice player but Power has been unquestionably more valuable.
Could argue McTavish & Eklund > Beniers from that class.

Sabres open a four-game road trip tonight in Carolina. It's going to be a tough matchup in a place they haven't won in a long time with a depleted roster.
It’s throwback Thursday and the Blues are in town.
The Sabres are still fighting injuries but these are 2 huge points for them ahead of what looks like a tough 4 game road trip.

The Jackets numbers tell a story of a better team than their record. Issue is they can’t finish and penalty kill is terrible.
