Impact Thompson will close out his 2022-23 campaign with 47 goals, 94 points (34 on the power play) and 295 shots on net in a fantastic season. While he's banged up to close out this season, it seems safe to assume he'll have plenty of time to heal up for 2023-24.

Two-point effort Thursday Thompson picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-6 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Impact In his second game back from a nagging upper-body injury, Thompson opened the scoring early in the first period with his 45th goal of the season, tying him for sixth in the league with Jason Robertson. The 25-year-old is up to 92 points in 74 games, and with five games remaining on Buffalo's schedule he's got a shot at a 100-point campaign, but Thompson could also be shut down if and when the Sabres are officially eliminated from the playoffs -- they're six points back of the Isles and Panthers for the final wild-card spot, and would also have to leapfrog the Penguins.
