With Sam Reinhart day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Thompson will draw into the lineup vs. the Devils. Thompson is expected to skate on the top line with Jack Eichel and Victor Olofsson and comes in with one assist in four games this year.
Thompson missed most of the 2020 season with a shoulder issue, which required surgery in mid-January. He had six goals and six assists (12 points) in 16 games with Rochester (AHL) and only appeared in one game with the Sabres. Since being selected No.26 overall in 2016, Thompson has just 10 goals and 11 assists (21 points) in 107 career NHL games.
Thompson was hurt in his season debut on November 17th and has been sidelined ever since. He elected to have surgery on Tuesday and will be sidelined for the rest of the 2020 regular season. His 5-to-6 month timetable means he should be ready for the 2020-21 training camp.
Thompson was hurt in his season debut on Sunday. He was called-up to replace Kyle Okposo (concussion) but suffered an injury of his own after playing just 6:59 TOI. He was hit awkwardly by Olli Maatta and suffered what appeared to be a shoulder injury. The Sabres have announced that he will miss at least three weeks.
Thompson is tied for the team lead with 12 points (6G / 6A) in 16 games with Rochester this season. Kyle Okposo left past night's game and is questionable to play on Sunday, so look for Thompson to make his season debut in Chicago. The 2016 first-round pick has 21 points (10G / 11A) in 106 career NHL games.
Thompson came to the Sabres with so much upside and a lethal shot but has registered just seven goals on 81 shots (8.6 SH%) and four assists (11 points) in 45 games this season. Thompson will be replaced by Johan Larsson tonight.
Thompson has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will replace Zemgus Girgensons on Saturday afternoon. Thompson has registered one assist and 12 shots in nine games far this season.
Thompson has not recorded a point while averaging 11:44 TOI/GM in his first seven games as a Sabre. Johan Larsson will draw in and take Thompson’s spot in the bottom-6.

During his time with the Rampage, the 20-year-old has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 30 contests. He is expected to play on Sunday afternoon, but there’s no word on who he will replace.
Thompson played just 7:54 TOI in Buffalo on Saturday and will sit tonight with the Blues dressing seven defensemen and just 11 forwards. Thompson has recorded just six points (3G / 3A) in 23 games since being called up.
Thompson went to San Antonio during the Blues’ bye week. He has split the season between the NHL and AHL, picking up five points (3G / 2A) in 15 games with the Blues and 18 points (8G / 10A) in 26 games with San Antonio (AHL).
Thompson has picked up five points (3G / 2A) in 15 games with the Blues since being called up. With the Blues bye week start on Wednesday, he heads back to the AHL to keep playing. He has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 24 games with the Rampage this season.
Thompson had no points, three shots, five hits and a minus-3 rating in his first four games and served as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 6-foot-5, 186 lbs. winger will swap spots with Sam Blais and go to the AHL where he had one goal and one assist in 16 games last season.
