Tage Thompson is going to miss at least one game for the Buffalo Sabres after Devils forward Stefan Noesen knocked him out of the game on Sunday with a hit to the head that resulted in a match penalty.

The Sabres' Tage Thompson left Sunday's game after taking an elbow to the face from the Devils' Stefan Noesen, who received a game misconduct penalty.

The Buffalo Sabres were raked over the coals on Sunday when they failed to step in after star forward Tage Thompson was rocked with a dirty hit from New Jersey Devils forward Stefan Noesen. No Buffalo Sabre standing up for Tage Thompson here is unbelievable and unacceptable #sabrehood pic.
