Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff told reporters leading scorer Tage Thompson will not play Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Thompson was elbowed in the face by New Jersey Devils’ Stefan Noesen during the third period of the Sabres’ 4-3 win Sunday. Noesen was assessed a match penalty.
The 27-year-old Thompson scored the opening goal and added a pair of assists before leaving the game. Ruff said in his post-game availability that Thompson “passed all the tests.”
Thompson leads the Sabres with 26 goals and 48 points in 47 games this season.
The Sabres reportedly held a team meeting Monday to address why they did not challenge the Devils on the ice after Thompson was injured.
“What happened last game won’t happen again,” said Alex Tuch, according to Sabres reporter Lance Lysowski.
