Power named to Canada's World Junior preliminary roster

Defenseman Owen Power has been named to Team Canada's preliminary roster for the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Buffalo selected Power with the first-overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. In his sophomore season at the University of Michigan, the 6-foot-5, 214-pound defenseman has already set career highs in assists (20) and points (23) through 16 games.
He is currently on an eight-game point streak, logging a goal and 14 assists since November 5.

Power, who turned 19 on November 22, won gold medal with Canada at the 2021 World Championship in Latvia. He tallied three assists in 10 games and was named the Player of the Game in the match against the Russian Olympic Committee.

Michigan is currently ranked third in the nation. They have a pair of home games on Friday and Saturday against Minnesota. Both games will air on Big Ten Network.
The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship begins on December 26. The tournament is being held in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta. Team Canada's full selection camp roster can be found here.
