Injury won't impact summer training Thompson (lower body) is expected to be available for training camp in the fall after being injured in Monday's season finale against Tampa Bay, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Heral...
Impact Thompson won't be an option for Team USA at the 2024 IIHF World Championship, but the injury won't impact his offseason training. The 26-year-old forward accounted for 29 goals, 56 points, 246 shots on net and 79 hits in 71 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

Injured Monday Thompson (lower body) will not return to Monday's game against Tampa Bay.
Impact Thompson recorded just one shot in 3:11 of ice time before leaving Monday's game. It was the Sabres final game of the 2023-24 campaign, so the 26-year-old will end the season with 29 goals and 56 points through 71 appearances. The team should have an update on the severity of his injury, but he'll have the whole offseason to heal.

Two-point effort against Philly Thompson produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact The 26-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period, putting a slick move on Ivan Fedotov to beat the Russian in his first NHL start. Thompson has delivered six multi-point performances in the last 12 games as Buffalo tries to steal a playoff spot, racking up nine goals and 18 points over that stretch.

Three points in Tuesday's win Thompson scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact The Sabres' top line dominated all night, as Thompson, Alex Tuch and John-Jason Peterka combined for four goals and nine points. Thompson has re-discovered his 2022-23 form, although maybe too late to get Buffalo into the playoffs, and over the last 11 games he's erupted for eight goals and 16 points. The 26-year-old center needs three more goals in the Sabres' last six games to reach 30 for the third straight season.

Powers comeback with four goals Thompson scored four times on six shots, added five hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Impact Thompson was just about all of the Sabres' offense Friday. He erased a 2-0 deficit in the second period, then added a go-ahead goal and an empty-netter in the third to finish off an excellent performance. It's not the best game of his career -- he had a five-goal effort Dec. 7, 2022 versus the Blue Jackets -- but it was easily Thompson's best game this season. He's up to 26 goals, 49 points, 226 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-3 rating through 63 appearances.

Point streak at five games Thompson had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Impact That pair of points brings Thompson's point streak to five games, a stretch over which he has three goals and seven points. This stretch is bringing his points up toward what he's done in the last two seasons, campaigns in which he totaled 38 and 47 goals and 68 and 94 points. This season, he has 22 goals and 45 points. It's a disappointing result after a couple of very productive outings.

Garners late assist Thompson notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Thompson set up the second of Rasmus Dahlin's goals, which came with 22 seconds left in the game. With three goals and four assists over his last six outings, Thompson is surging and giving the Sabres a chance to compete for a playoff spot. The 26-year-old forward is up to 42 points, 210 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-8 rating through 59 outings. Compared to his 94-point campaign from last season, he's been a significant disappointment in fantasy this year, but he's still a top-six forward that can make a heavy impact.

MARCH 19 • THEATHLETIC.COM
One of each Monday Thompson scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged three hits in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Thompson has three goals and three helpers over his last five outings since a one-game absence with an upper-body injury. He tied the game at 1-1 just 49 seconds into the first period and set up Alex Tuch later in the frame for what ended up being the game-winner. Thompson is up to 21 tallies, 41 points, 207 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-9 rating through 58 appearances. He'll fall well short of his last two campaigns, but his top-line role continues to make him an interesting option in fantasy.

Pots 20th goal Thompson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact The 26-year-old gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, but the team's offense went cold after that. Thompson's tally was his 20th of the season, and over the last 14 games he's produced five goals and 10 points, with four of the goals coming on the man advantage.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Two-point effort Tuesday Thompson notched two assists while adding three shots on net and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact He helped set up second-period tallies by Connor Clifton and Bowen Byram as the Sabres built a 6-1 lead before the game was half over. Thompson still hasn't re-discovered last season's elite form, but over his last 12 games he's managed to produce four goals and nine points as Buffalo scrambles to stay in the playoff race.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Pots PP goal against Edmonton Thompson scored a power-play goal and also beat Stuart Skinner in the shootout during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Impact With the Sabres down 2-0 in the first period, Thompson banged home a rebound while sliding on one knee to get his team on the board. The 26-year-old, who'd missed Buffalo's last game with a minor upper-body injury, still hasn't found the form that saw him produce 47 goals and 94 points last season, but he has been making a contribution of late with four goals and seven points over his last 11 contests.

Playing Saturday Thompson (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Edmonton, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Impact Thompson sat out Thursday in Nashville. He has not picked up a point in his last three contests, but he did manage eight shots on goal. Thompson has 18 goals and 17 assists in 53 appearances this season, a far cry from last year's outstanding campaign, when he had 47 goals and 47 assists. He will center the first line, alongside Zach Benson and John-Jason Peterka.
MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing Thursday Thompson (upper body) will not play Thursday versus the Predators.
Impact Thompson has gone without a point over the last three games, but he hasn't shown any obvious signs of playing through an injury. With Thompson sidelined, Lukas Rousek is expected to draw into the lineup.
