The Sabres peppered the Montreal net with a season-high 45 shots on goal but suffered a disappointing 3-2 loss on a knuckleball by Canadiens forward Josh Anderson that floated over Eric Comrie's shoulder with 3:56 left.
This is just the start of Power's development and, as the Sabres have learned from Rasmus Dahlin, it will be measured in years. Not in months or weeks.
