Thompson (lower body) was on the ice Sunday in a regular full-contact jersey, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has yet to suit up in game action since Jan. 21 while dealing with the lower-body issue, but as evidenced by this news, he appears trending in the right direction. After suiting up as a full participant for Sunday's practice, the veteran will have a chance to play in Monday's game against Edmonton. Thompson will need to be activated off injured reserve to re-join the lineup, but once he's cleared, the 36-year-old is expected to challenge for a bottom-six role in the lineup.

Thompson (lower body) was on the ice Friday in a non-contact jersey but is still considered day-to-day, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is set to miss his 10th game of the season when the Jets square off with Ottawa on Saturday. Once cleared to play, the center should be in the mix for a spot in the lineup but will have to challenge the likes of Trevor Lewis and Kristian Vesalainen for minutes.

Thompson (lower body) skated for the first time Thursday but remains on injured reserve, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson missed the past three contests due to his lower-body issue and should be expected to be sidelined for Saturday's clash with Vancouver as well. In four games prior to getting hurt, Thompson registered four hits and one shot while averaging a meager 7:25 of ice time. Once fully fit, Thompson should be in the mix for a bottom-six role.

Thompson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With his placement on injured reserve, Thompson will miss at least the next three contests while recovering from his lower-body issue. With Thompson out, along with Patrik Laine (upper body), Kristian Vesalainen will slot into a fourth-line role in Thompson's stead.

Thompson (lower body) won't play versus Ottawa on Saturday, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

In four appearances this season, Thompson has registered just one shot and four hits while averaging a mere 7:25 of ice time, so fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by his absence. The Jets will add Kristian Vesalainen to the lineup for Saturday's contest which will see Mathieu Perreault elevated to the third line. A back-to-back including Sunday's matchup with Edmonton likely means Thompson will have to wait until Tuesday against the Oilers to get back into the lineup.

Thompson suffered a lower-body injury and will not return to Thursday's game against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was injured in the first period of the contest and ruled out for the game during the first intermission. The 36-year-old forward has operated in a bottom-six role this year, averaging 8:50 per game and seeing time on the penalty kill. If he's unable to return for Saturday's game versus the Senators, Kristian Vesalainen or C.J. Suess could enter the lineup.

Thompson signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Jets on Saturday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old forward was traded to the Flyers at the deadline last season and ended up playing in every postseason contest, recording a goal, 37 hits and 21 blocked shots over 16 playoff games. Thomspon will serve in a steady bottom-six role for the Jets during the upcoming season.

Thompson scored a goal on his lone shot and dished out a pair of hits Sunday in a 4-1 victory over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson joined a rush late in the play and beat Jaroslav Halak from the left faceoff circle to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead midway through the second period. It was Thompson's first goal as a Flyer; the 35-year-old was acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline in February. He scored just four goals during the regular season and is nothing more than a real-life depth player.

Thompson (knee) has been given the all-clear and will be ready when the season resumes. General manager Chuck Fletcher told reporters, "Thompson's issues have resolved, he's cleared to play," Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson managed 15 points for the Flyers and the Habs this season in 70 contests and likely would have approached the 20-point mark for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign, when he was with the Lightning. The center is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value if the season resumes, as he figures to be locked into a bottom-six role.

Thompson will miss a minimum of two weeks with a knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson's absence will test the Flyers' depth at forward, but it won't impact any fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up 15 points in 70 games this campaign. Connor Bunnaman will take over as Philadelphia's fourth-line center until Thompson's ready to return.
