Tage Thompson was unable to play Friday for the Buffalo Buffalo Sabres, Lance Lysowski of the Buffalo News reports.
Tage Thompson isn't on the ice for warmups, but Mattias Samuelsson and Jordan Greenway are out there.

This will be the second straight game that Thompson has missed due to an upper-body injury. The Sabres also play Saturday, so they may have just decided to play it safe and give Thompson the extra day, as he was considered a game-time decision to play Friday.
The 25-year-old followed his breakout campaign last season (38 goals and 68 points in 78 games) with an even better 2022-23 campaign. Thompson has a team-leading 44 goals and 89 points in 72 games for a much improved and exciting Sabres squad.
Thompson may have missed the game Friday, but the Sabres were still able to defeat the New York Rangers 3-2 in overtime.
Buffalo will travel to Philadelphia on Saturday to take on the Flyers. The Sabres are +198 (-1.5) on the puck line and -120 on the moneyline. The over/under is 6.5, over (+100), and under (-132). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
