Thompson made 28 saves and allowed all seven goals in a 7-2 loss to Buffalo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The game was tight through the midpoint of the second and then the wheels fell off completely. Thompson allowed five unanswered goals as the game got out of reach. He struggled on special teams, surrendering a power-play goal and two shorthanded ones. Thompson needs to shake this off. He has one win in his last six starts, and along the way, he has allowed 24 goals. A reset is in order. Until then, keep Thompson on your bench.
