The Buffalo Sabres announced that Tage Thompson is expected to miss a significant amount of time after he was injuried in Tuesday night's 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins.

Thompson was injuried in the 2nd period when a shot from the point hit his hand. It was the second time in the game that Thompson was injuried. He suffered a lower-body injury in the 1st period but was able to come back. Now it looks like he will miss some time with a wrist injury.

Thompson is the third-leading scorer for the Sabres this season. He has scored 6 goals and has 6 assists for a total of 12 points so far this season in 16 games. He was the team's leading scorer last season with 47 goals and 47 assists for a total of 94 points.
