In a recent update, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff announced that leading scorer Tage Thompson and starting goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will not participate in the upcoming home game against the St. Louis Blues.

Both players are day-to-day but may return for Saturday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. Thompson is sidelined due to a lower-body injury, while Luukkonen is coping with a minor ailment. Devon Levi will take the starting role against the Blues, with James Reimer backing him up after being claimed off waivers.
