Tage Thompson Ruled Out For Thursday
29 seconds agoBuffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against St. Louis. He sustained a lower-body injury in Monday's matchup versus Montreal and needs more time to recover. It's possible Thompson will be ready to return on Saturday against Philadelphia. His absence on Thursday means that Buffalo will be without its top scorer. Thompson has tallied 18 points (11 goals, seven assists) in 16 games. Ryan McLeod will handle the top-line center duties on Thursday. He is not as big of a goal threat as Thompson but has also been active offensively, recording nine points (four goals, five assists) in 16 contests. Only five teams have given more goals than the Blues this season, meaning this is a good matchup for Buffalo's frontline.
