Sabres leading scorer Tage Thompson passed concussion-related tests after being struck in the head by New Jersey Devils forward Stefan Noesen, coach Lindy Ruff said Sunday. Noesen faces potential further discipline after being issued a match penalty for elbowing Thompson in the face.

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.
