Thompson (lower body) has been placed on waivers by the Sharks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson began the season on non-roster injured reserve with a lower-body ailment. That seems to be resolved, so he'll head on waivers and likely be assigned to the AHL if he clears. The 23-year-old did suit up in 31 NHL games last year, putting up 10 points from the blue line in those contests.

Thompson was labeled day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks previously placed Thompson on non-roster, injured reserve without clarifying that the blueliner was dealing with a lower-body injury. With the Ontario native deemed day-to-day, he could still suit up in Thursday's season opener against the Golden Knights.

Thompson was placed on non-roster, injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson suited up in 31 regular-season games for the Sharks last year in which he notched four goals and six assists, including three power-play points. Once cleared to play, the Ontario native should challenge for a spot on the 23-man roster, though the team might prefer to see him playing every night in the minors instead of spending time in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Thompson signed a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson contributed four goals, 10 points, 41 shots on net and 54 blocked shots across 31 NHL regular-season appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. He also had three goals and 14 points in 27 outings with AHL San Jose during the 2024-25 regular season. The Sharks added veteran blueliners Dmitry Orlov, John Klingberg and Nick Leddy in the offseason, which could lead to the 23-year-old Thompson starting the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

Thompson (upper body) was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is expected to suit up for AHL San Jose either Friday or Saturday in Calgary. The 23-year-old defenseman was injured Sunday versus the Flames and missed the final two games of the NHL season. He had four goals and 10 points with 54 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 31 NHL appearances this season.

Thompson (upper body) is expected to miss the Sharks' season finale against Edmonton on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will complete the NHL campaign with four goals and 10 points in 31 outings with the Sharks. He also has three goals and 14 points in 27 AHL appearances with the Barracuda in 2024-25.

Thompson (upper body) will be sidelined against Vancouver on Monday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is currently stuck in a five-game goal drought, during which he has managed just two helpers, three shots and 15 blocks while averaging 16:40 of ice time. With the Sharks' season ending against Edmonton on Wednesday, there is little reason to rush the 23-year-old defenseman back into the lineup.

Thompson suffered an upper-body injury Sunday in a 5-2 loss to the Flames, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky did not have a postgame update on the severity of Thompson's injury. Sunday was the first of a back-to-back set for San Jose, so Thompson's availability for Monday's divisional matchup against the Canucks is up in the air. There hasn't been much information with respect to the status of Vincent Desharnais (upper body), so if he and Thompson are unable to suit up Monday, the Sharks will have to bring up a blueliner from AHL San Jose on an emergency basis.

Thompson notched two assists and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has four points, seven shots on net and 11 blocked shots over five outings in April. The defenseman has been able to carve out steady playing time due to multiple injury absences on the Sharks' blue line. For the season, he's up to 10 points, 40 shots on net, 47 blocks and a minus-7 rating across 29 appearances. Thompson regularly sees power-play time when he's in the lineup, giving him some appeal as a streaming option in deep fantasy formats.

Thompson scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has a goal and an assist over two appearances during his current stint in the NHL. The 23-year-old has a chance to stick around if Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) or Vincent Desharnais (upper body) miss the rest of the season. Thompson has produced four goals, eight points, 38 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 26 appearances, making this officially his rookie year.
