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.

Thompson signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson appeared in 44 games with Winnipeg last season, picking up just five points while averaging 9:41 of ice time per contest. The 36-year-old vet will likely center Philadelphia's fourth line and kill penalties in 2021-22.

Thompson posted two assists and four hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson helped out on goals by Tucker Poolman and Dominic Toninato in the contest. The 36-year-old Thompson ended the regular season on a 13-game point drought, so this was an unexpected burst of offense. The fourth-line center shouldn't be counted on for a repeat effort any time soon -- he had just two goals and three helpers in 44 regular-season outings.

Thompson scored a goal and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson tied the game at 1-1 with his first-period tally, and it was all Jets after his goal. The 36-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time in 2020-21. He has just four points, eight shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-4 rating through 24 outings.

Thompson produced an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson had the secondary helper on a Logan Stanley goal in the second period. The assist was just Thompson's third point in 23 games this season. The 36-year-old forward hasn't been much of a factor on offense from a fourth-line role.

Thompson produced an assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson's shot attempt was deflected by Mathieu Perreault for the Jets' lone goal at 12:43 of the second period. Just 38 seconds later, Connor McDavid's second tally of the game put the Oilers ahead for good. Thompson has only two points, four shots on net and 18 hits through 18 games in his first year in Winnipeg. There's little reason for fantasy managers to track his output.

Thompson scored a goal and doled out two hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson's tally at 6:37 of the third period stood as the game-winner against his old team. It was the 36-year-old's first point in seven appearances this year. Thompson had 14 points in 63 outings with the Canadiens in 2019-20, mostly in a bottom-six role that he's taken on with the Jets as well.

Thompson (lower body) skated a team-low 6:56 with one hit and one blocked shot in Friday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson returned from a 12-game absence, but he wasn't able to record his first point of the year. The 36-year-old has seen a very limited bottom-six role so far, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to have him on their radar.

Thompson (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve and is expected to return to the lineup for Friday's game versus Vancouver, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has been sidelined for nearly a month with a lower-body injury, but he'll return to his usual fourth-line role against the Canucks. He's gone scoreless through four games this campaign.

Thompson (lower body) won't be available against the Oilers on Monday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is nearing a return to the lineup but will be shelved for an 11th consecutive outing. Even once given the all-clear, the Alaska native could still end up as a healthy scratch from time to time and will need to compete with Jansen Harkins, Kristian Vesalainen and Trevor Lewis for minutes.
