Sabres' Tage Thompson: Expected to miss out Friday
Thompson (lower body) is not expected back in the lineup versus the Ducks on Friday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Thompson didn't participate in line rushes during the game-day skate, effectively ruling out his return to action Friday. With a back-to-back on the schedule, the 27-year-old center figures to be a long shot to get onto the ice for Saturday's clash with San Jose -- though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Not ruled out Wednesday
Thompson (lower body) practiced with the team Monday and may still be an option against the Kings on Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Thompson's return would see him instantly reclaim a top-six role while also seeing power-play minutes. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old center had scored in four straight contests, giving him 11 goals in 16 contests this season. At that rate, Thompson will cruise to a second 40-goal campaign, having last reached that threshold back in 2022-23.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Being evaluated Tuesday
Thompson, who suffered a lower-body injury versus the Canadiens on Monday, will be evaluated Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
The Sabres have a scheduled off day Tuesday since they aren't back in action until Thursday's matchup with the Blues, which means that the team won't be providing a real update on Thompson's status. If the No. 1 center does miss out, it could mean more opportunities for Dylan Cozens or moving Jack Quinn to his natural center position. Thompson's off to an impressive start with 11 goals and seven assists, including four power-play points, in 16 games this year.

Through 13 contests on the season, he's racked up eight goals and 15 points, and he's looking more like the star that broke out for 47 goals and 94 points in 2022-23.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Nets second goal
Thompson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Thompson has managed two goals over four games, though the Sabres have tallied just eight times as a team. The center has added 14 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. While it's a bit of a sluggish start, Thompson is not at risk of losing power-play time or his first-line spot, so he's in a position to find more consistency as the season progresses.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Tallies in loss
Thompson scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils.
Thompson opened the scoring at 8:18 of the second period, but that was all the Sabres could manage against Jake Allen. Buffalo scored just twice over the two-game NHL Global Series in Prague, which is at least mildly concerning after the team fell short of expectations in 2023-24. Thompson was at the forefront of that decline, producing just 56 points in 71 contests a year after his breakout 94-point season. He has a goal, six shots and a minus-1 rating across two contests to begin 2024-25.
