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 Sabres didn't instigate anything following Stefan Noesen's high hit to Tage Thompson's head but ultimately defeated the Devils 4-3.

The struggling Buffalo Sabres may have emerged victorious over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday by a 4-3 final score, but they also lost forward Tage Thompson following a questionable high hit from Devils forward Stefan Noesen.
