Buffalo Sabres leading scorer Tage Thompson left Monday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return.

The Buffalo Sabres currently find themselves in a rut, having recently lost their bout vs the Montreal Canadiens. Lindy Ruff’s men entered the clash hoping to extend their three-match winning streak by capitalizing on the Canadiens’ patchy run of form.

Not only did the Sabres lose to the Canadiens, but they also lost top-scoring forward Tage Thompson to injury.
