Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff has confirmed 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 currently day to day but may return for Saturday's match against the Philadelphia Flyers. Thompson is sidelined due to a lower-body injury, while Luukkonen is dealing with a minor issue. Devon Levi is set to start in goal, with James Reimer stepping in as the backup after being claimed off waivers.
