Thompson failed to pick up a point in limited minutes across two games for the Devils and will head back to the Utica Comets (AHL) Thursday. Prior to his time in New Jersey, he had six goals, 13 points, six PIMS and a -6 plus/minus through 22 games with Utica.
Thompson had six goals, seven assists, six PIMs and a -6 plus/minus through 22 games with Utica (AHL) but has been recalled for the first time this season Wednesday. Thompson will slot right into New Jersey's lineup for their game vs. Boston, where he will be looking to pick up his second career point as he has one assist in nine previous NHL games.
Thompson played in two straight games, failing to record a point with three shots in 14:25 ATOI. Thompson will be replaced by Yegor Sharangovich, who was a healthy scratch for the past two games.
Thompson has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in seven AHL games this season. Thompson is expected to participate in the morning skate and could make his season debut on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has one assist in seven career NHL games.
Thompson was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and turned pro after his junior year at Providence College, where he had 11 goals and 14 assists (25 points) in 25 games. Tyce is the younger brother of Sabres' winger Tage Thompson and the two will get a chance to go head-to-head tonight in Tyce's NHL debut.
