Thompson is no longer listed on the Sharks' NHL roster, indicating he has been reassigned to AHL San Jose, per the NHL media site.
Thompson has played just once in the last seven games, so it's possible the organization wants him to get some playing time. Shakir Mukhamadullin was recalled in a corresponding move.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Scores in shootout loss
Rotowire
Thompson scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Thompson has two goals over his last four games. The 22-year-old defenseman has clear scoring upside, but the Sharks are taking a careful approach with his minutes so far -- he's averaging 16:34 of ice time per game over 10 appearances. He's collected five points, 10 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating, and he may sit out occasionally once Jake Walman (upper body) is healthy.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Scores first career goal
Rotowire
Thompson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Thompson had been scratched in two of the previous four games, but he took the spot of Jake Walman in the lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old Thompson's goal was the first of his career to go with three assists over seven appearances this season. He has some scoring upside, especially as part of the Sharks' power-play mix on the blue line. The blueliner has added eight shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in a bottom-four role at even strength.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Registers pair of assists
Rotowire
Thompson had two power-play assists, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
Thompson's usage is starting to get interesting -- he is on the Sharks' top power-play unit, and while he was listed on the third pairing Thursday, he led the team's blueliners with 20:34 of ice time. Thompson has three assists, four shots on net, seven blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating over three outings this season. Even if he serves as a power-play specialist, Thompson will have appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially those where an ugly plus-minus rating is not a concern.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Earns first career helper
Rotowire
Thompson notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.
Thompson earned his first career helper in his fifth appearance. The 22-year-old blueliner has drawn into two straight games, with Matt Benning serving as a healthy scratch after a lackluster start to 2024-25. Thompson has added three shots on net, four blocked shots and two hits over his two contests. He's likely to stay on the third pairing at even strength, but he could see power-play time as well, which could give him a path to fantasy rosters in deep formats if he's productive in that role.

Rotowire
Thompson was returned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.
Thompson was credited with one shot on goal and two hits in 11:39 of ice time during his NHL debut Saturday against Boston. His return to the minors probably bodes well for the availability of Erik Cernak (upper body) ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Kings.
