Sabres' Tage Thompson Settles Old Score with Devils' Stefan Noesen
Thompson confronted Noesen over a February elbow that caused injury, with both players penalized after a 30-second fight early in the game, marking the first team meeting since the incident.
- On Friday, Sabres forward Tage Thompson squared off with Devils forward Stefan Noesen after dropping gloves during a faceoff in the Buffalo zone.
- Earlier this year, Noesen's February elbow spun Tage Thompson, knocked off his helmet and sent him face-first to the ice in their first meeting since Buffalo's 4-3 win on Feb. 2.
- About 2 1/2 minutes into the game, the fight lasted about 30 seconds and ended with Noesen falling to the ice as the crowd cheered on Thompson.
- Both players were issued five-minute majors for fighting, Noesen had a match penalty earlier but faced no further NHL discipline, and Sabres teammates held a team meeting after Thompson sat out one game.
- Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said the matter is behind him before the game, and players and staff reflected that they had 'spent time last year on this topic' and learned a hard lesson.
