Lights lamp in Sunday's loss Thompson scored his 10th goal of the season in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Ottawa.
Impact He spoiled Anton Forsberg's shutout bid late in the first period by converting a Senators turnover in their own zone. Thompson is heating up, delivering three goals and six points over his last five games, but he still remains behind his breakout 2022-23 pace with 21 points through 28 contests on the season.

Back in action Thompson (personal) was activated from non-roster reserve Friday.
Impact Thompson was a late scratch Wednesday, but will end up missing only one game as he is expected to return to the lineup Saturday versus Columbus. Thompson has nine goals and 19 points in 26 games this season, well off his pace of last season when he scored 47 goals and added 47 assists in 78 contests.

Might return Saturday Thompson (personal) could rejoin the team ahead of Saturday's clash with Columbus, per Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report.
Impact Thompson looks set to miss just one game as a result of his personal absence, though he hasn't been officially activated off non-roster injured reserve. If he does suit up Saturday, Thompson figures to reclaim his first-line role in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Placed on non-roster reserve The Sabres put Thompson (personal) on non-roster reserve Thursday.
Impact Thompson was a late scratch Wednesday. He was replaced in the lineup by Tyson Jost but Casey Mittelstadt eventually took his place on the top line between Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner. Thompson has nine goals and 19 points in 26 games this season, a far cry from last season when he managed 47 goals and 94 points in 78 contests.

Out of lineup Wednesday Thompson (personal) won't play Wednesday versus the Bruins, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Thompson's absence was announced just before puck drop. Tyson Jost will enter the lineup in place of Thompson. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Three-point effort Thursday Thompson scored an even-strength goal on five shots while adding two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact All his points came in the final two frames as the Sabres blew open what had been a 3-2 game after the first period. Buffalo's top line of Thompson, Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner combined for three goals and 10 points on the night, but the multi-point performance was Thompson's first in nine games since he made his return from an upper-body injury. On the season, the 26-year-old center has nine goals and 19 points in 25 games -- somewhat disappointing numbers after his 2022-23 breakout, but Thompson has proven he can heat up in a hurry.

Tage Thompson Nets Sabres' Fifth Goal Of Game Forcing Maple Leafs To Pull Ilya Samsonov
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • YOUTUBE
First goal since return from injury Thompson scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 3-1 win over Boston.
Impact He one-timed a sweet feed from Connor Clifton from the high-slot that exploded off his stick so fast that Linus Ullmark didn't have a chance. It was Thompson's first goal since his injury return, and his first since early November. With just seven goals and seven assists in 18 games, Thompson is far off his massive 47-goal total from last season. But he has the talent to carry the Sabres and your fantasy squad with a couple of snaps of his powerful wrists. Be sure he's back in an active role because a streak is coming.

Ready to rock Thompson (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Detroit.
Impact It was initially believed that Thompson was trending toward a return for Thursday's contest against Boston, but he declared himself good to go following Tuesday's morning skate. He has produced six goals, 12 points, 52 shots on net and 10 blocked shots through 16 appearances this season. Thompson, who missed the past nine games, is projected to play on the top line and first power-play unit in his return.
DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Making progress Thompson (upper body) has been skating alone, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Impact Thompson has missed the last nine games and hasn't suited up since Nov. 14. The 26-year-old will likely need some practice time before jumping back into game action but he appears to be progressing toward a return. Head coach Don Granato expects to have another update on his status Monday.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still week-to-week Thompson (upper body) is progressing well but remains week-to-week, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Impact "Hopefully he's on the shorter end of the timeline but still a little ways away. But definitely in a good spot," general manager Kevyn Adams said when asked about Thompson's status. It's unlikely he'll be available in the near term. When Thompson begins practicing again, his timeline should become clearer. Adams added that the 26-year-old center's absence is likely to be less than two months. Thompson was injured Nov. 14.

Lands on injured reserve Thompson (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Thompson's demotion shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was labeled week-to-week by coach Don Granato. With both Eric Comrie and Zach Benson coming off IR, the Sabres needed the free up a roster spot. The Arizona native is slightly off his pace from last season when he racked up 94 points, including 47 goals, in 78 games.

Sabres center Tage Thompson to miss at least a month after taking shot off left wrist
The Buffalo Sabres will be without Tage Thompson for a month if not longer after their top center had a shot go off his left wristNOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Week-to-week, not month-to-month Thompson (upper body) is week-to-week, but not month-to-month, coach Don Granato told Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report on Wednesday.
Impact Thompson suffered a lower-body issue in the first period of Tuesday's game against Boston, and while he was able to return from that, the 26-year-old then sustained a more significant injury while blocking a shot in the second frame. Thompson has six goals and 12 points in 16 contests this year. While he's out, Dylan Cozens might center the Sabres' top line.
