Bruins forward Shawn Thornton out 7-10 days following John Scott fight

The Bruins enforcer never returned to the game after the fight, as the Sabres executed an amazing 7-4 comeback victory with four goals in the third period.

The Sabres were embarrassed multiple times last year by their lack of any sort of physical presence, and that was no more evident than back in Nov. 2011 when Bruins forward Milan Lucic ran goalie Ryan Miller. He avoided suspension, the Sabres were furious, and they pledged to not let it happen again.

That last punch was particularly devastating, and Thornton was definitely feeling the effects of it on his way over to the penalty box. Thornton never returned to the game and we should expect an update on his condition from the Bruins on Friday morning.
