Thompson scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson cleaned up a loose puck in front of Oilers goalie Mikko Koskinen at 10:05 of the first period. That was Thompson's first goal and point of the season. The veteran forward has added 14 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-1 rating through five contests, but he's unlikely to play above the third line. While the toughness is notable, he hasn't reached the 20-point in a season in over a decade.
