Sabres' Tage Thompson Sidelined with Wrist Injury

Top center expected to miss significant time, leaving a gap in a team already struggling with a 7-8-1 record.

Buffalo Sabres' top center Tage Thompson is expected to be out for at least a month due to a wrist injury.
Thompson was injured during the second period of a game against the Boston Bruins when he blocked a shot with his left wrist.
The exact nature of the injury has not been revealed, but Thompson is expected to miss 'significant time', according to Sabres coach Don Granato.
Thompson is a key player for the Sabres, having scored six goals and 12 points this season, and achieving career-best numbers with 47 goals and 94 points last season.
The Sabres, currently with a 7-8-1 record, have lost two straight games and are set to open a three-game road trip at Winnipeg on Friday night.
