Sabres center Tage Thompson to miss at least a month after taking shot off left wrist

The Buffalo Sabres will be without Tage Thompson for a month if not longer after their top center had a shot go off his left wrist
NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Week-to-week, not month-to-month Thompson (upper body) is week-to-week, but not month-to-month, coach Don Granato told Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report on Wednesday.
Impact Thompson suffered a lower-body issue in the first period of Tuesday's game against Boston, and while he was able to return from that, the 26-year-old then sustained a more significant injury while blocking a shot in the second frame. Thompson has six goals and 12 points in 16 contests this year. While he's out, Dylan Cozens might center the Sabres' top line.

Tage Thompson could miss 'significant time' after blocking shot in Sabres loss to Bruins

The Buffalo Sabres will be without star forward Tage Thompson for the foreseeable future because of an injury he sustained blocking a shot
NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Will miss significant time Thompson (upper body) will miss significant time according to head coach Don Granato, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact That update makes it sound like Thompson's recovery after blocking a shot will be measured in weeks rather than days. Alex Tuch (upper body) may be ready to play Friday in Winnipeg to replace Thompson in the lineup, while Dylan Cozens figures to slide back over to center on the top line. Thompson will likely require some additional tests to bring clarity to his return timeline.

Sustains another injury Thompson won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins due to an upper-body injury.
Impact Thompson took a beating Tuesday, suffering a lower-body injury in the first period that he was able to bounce back from. In the second, he took a shot off the wrist, and that was enough to take him out of the game for good. He'll be day-to-day until the Sabres provide another update on his status.
NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to contest Thompson (lower body) returned to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins at the start of the second period, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Impact Thompson was initially labeled questionable to return to the contest. Assuming he doesn't aggravate the injury, the 26-year-old should be good to handle his usual top-line role.
NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to return Thompson (lower body) is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.
Impact Thompson got tangled up and crashed into the boards. He was able to get off the ice but was in visible pain. If he doesn't return to Tuesday's contest, he'll be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's contest in Winnipeg, which begins a three-game road trip for the Sabres.

Strikes for goal in loss Thompson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
Impact Thompson briefly put the Sabres ahead 2-1 in the first period with his third tally over the last two games. The 25-year-old sputtered early in the season, but he's managed four goals and one helper through eight outings. The center has added 34 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-4 rating while playing in his usual top-line role.

First multi-pointer of season Thompson scored twice and added an assist Tuesday in a 6-4 win over the Senators.
Impact It was Thompson's first multipoint game of the season. His first goal came at 18:48 of the second period when he redirected an Owen Power point shot. It stood as the winner. Thompson's second went into the empty net at 19:37 while shorthanded. He's off to a slow start after his breakout 94-point season last year, but so are the Sabres overall. They sit last in the Atlantic with a 3-4-0 (.429) record. This shouldn't last long. A breakout is coming.

Impact It was also his first point of the season. Thompson wired a wrist shot over Dan Vladar's glove on the power play at 14:28 of the first period. His 47-goal breakout last season was real, so don't panic. The good times should roll now that Thompson has that proverbial monkey off his back.
