Thompson has been suspended three games for an illegal hit to the head, Stephen Whyno of the Canadian Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was tossed in the first period of Friday's contest against the Hurricanes after the elbow to the head of Justin Faulk, and he'll now miss the next three games barring an appeal. The 31-year-old is slated to be eligible to return for next Tuesday's tilt against the Rangers.
