First multi-pointer of season Thompson scored twice and added an assist Tuesday in a 6-4 win over the Senators.

Impact It was Thompson's first multipoint game of the season. His first goal came at 18:48 of the second period when he redirected an Owen Power point shot. It stood as the winner. Thompson's second went into the empty net at 19:37 while shorthanded. He's off to a slow start after his breakout 94-point season last year, but so are the Sabres overall. They sit last in the Atlantic with a 3-4-0 (.429) record. This shouldn't last long. A breakout is coming.

Two-point effort Thursday Thompson picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-6 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Impact In his second game back from a nagging upper-body injury, Thompson opened the scoring early in the first period with his 45th goal of the season, tying him for sixth in the league with Jason Robertson. The 25-year-old is up to 92 points in 74 games, and with five games remaining on Buffalo's schedule he's got a shot at a 100-point campaign, but Thompson could also be shut down if and when the Sabres are officially eliminated from the playoffs -- they're six points back of the Isles and Panthers for the final wild-card spot, and would also have to leapfrog the Penguins.
