• Sabres' Tage Thompson: Scores late in loss

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson scored a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Thompson has five goals over five games in December, but his tally Wednesday was a little too late to save the Sabres from an eighth straight loss. The 27-year-old is at least productive even if the rest of the team has been lacking lately. The center is up to 16 goals, 23 points, 82 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating through 24 appearances in a top-line role.

• Sabres' Tage Thompson: Finds twine in shootout loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Red Wings. Thompson took some time to get on track after a five-game absence due to a lower-body injury, returning with three scoreless outings. He's since scored four times over four games. The 27-year-old is up to 15 goals, 22 points, 77 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating through 23 contests this season. Thompson is locked in as the Sabres' top center and should offer steady offense and decent power-play production.

• Sabres' Tage Thompson: Six goals in last eight games

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson scored a power-play goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday. He took a pass from Jason Zucker in the right circle and wired a wrist shot that went in off the far post past Connor Hellebuyck. Thompson has three goals across his last two games and six over his last eight outings. He has fired 75 pucks at opposing netminders, and while an above-average 18.7 percent of his shots are going in, Thompson is talented enough to ride this hot streak for a while. He's on a 55-goal pace if he keeps surging. That would be a lofty achievement, but he's certainly been productive early in the season.
