Today the Buffalo Sabres announced that they are going to be without one of their star forwards tonight.
Sabres Lose Star Forward
The Buffalo Sabres announced just a few minutes ago that Tage Thompson will miss tonight's game. The Sabres and other sources have confirmed Thompson's absence is due to personal reasons.
Tage Thompson will miss the Sabres' game against the Bruins for "personal reasons," according to a team spokesperson.
For tonight Tyson Jost will be thrust into a top-line role. We wish Tage Thompson the best in whatever he is going through. Hopefully, for Thompson and fans across the NHL, he will be able to return soon.
