Thompson notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson had gone eight games without an assist, though he was more than fine on offense with eight goals in that stretch. He set up a Jiri Kulich tally in the first period of Sunday's defeat. Thompson has been arguably the Sabres' best player this season with 44 goals, 28 assists, 235 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He'll likely close out the campaign on the top line.

Thompson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
He snapped a puck past Pyotr Kochetkov early in the second period to open the scoring, and it was all the support James Reimer would need. Thompson has found the back of the net in five straight games, racking up eight tallies in total over that hot streak, and he's up to 44 goals and 71 points in 71 appearances on the season. With five games left on the Sabres' schedule, Thompson needs three more goals to tie his career high.

Thompson recorded a hat trick in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has scored in four games in a row and is having an excellent end to what has been one of the best seasons of his career. He's not going to reach the 90-point plateau as he did in 2022-23, but he's only four goals away from tying his best scoring mark (47 goals) from that campaign. He's also notched 10 points (nine goals, one assist) over his last seven appearances.

Thompson scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has six goals and an assist over his last six games, which ended up being a sprint to the 40-goal mark this season. It's the second time in his career that Thompson has reached that level, though he's at 67 points through 69 appearances in 2024-25 compared to 94 points (47 goals, 47 assists) in 78 games in 2022-23. The 27-year-old has added 219 shots on net, 64 hits, 33 PIM and an even plus-minus rating as a top-line fixture this season, though he's often played on the wing while Jiri Kulich or Ryan McLeod line up at center.

Thompson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has five goals and one assist over his last five outings as he makes a late-season push up the scoring charts. The 27-year-old's tally Tuesday was the game-winner, his fifth such goal this season. He's at 39 goals, 66 points, 215 shots on net, 63 hits and a minus-1 rating through 68 contests overall. He could join the 40-goal club for the second time in his career, but he'll likely come up short of the career-best 47 he netted in 2022-23.

Thompson netted two power-play goals and fired six shots on net in Sunday's 8-5 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Thompson's tallies were scored with a man advantage. His first goal tied the game at 1-1 before his second tally put the Sabres up 5-3 early in the third period. The 27-year-old star has 38 goals, 65 points and 213 shots on net in 67 appearances this season. Thompson's two goals Sunday helped him tie his second-highest goal total in a season with 38, which he also recorded in the 2021-22 campaign. He is currently tied for third in the NHL in goals with Tampa Bay's Brayden Point and Winnipeg's Kyle Connor. Thompson has shot the puck exceptionally well in March with 10 goals and 14 points over 16 contests. With the pressure off as the Sabres are close to being eliminated from the playoffs, Thompson should continue to thrive in fantasy and could break the 70-point mark for the second time in his career.

Thompson produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old got the rout started by beating Tristan Jarry just 27 seconds into the first period. Thompson has five goals and nine points over the last nine games, and with 11 games left on the Sabres' schedule, he needs four more tallies to reach 40 for the second time in his career.

Thompson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old converted a Zach Benson feed from behind the net early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie. Thompson snapped a brief five-goal drought with the tally, and on the season he's up to 35 goals in 64 appearances, the third time in his career he's reached the 35-goal plateau. Buffalo has 12 more games left on its schedule, giving Thompson time to produce his second 40-goal campaign.

Thompson logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has six goals and three assists over 10 outings in March, with this being his second power-play point of the month. The 27-year-old has reached the 60-point mark in just 61 appearances, a much better performance than his 56-point effort over 71 games a year ago. Thompson has 34 goals, 26 helpers, 14 power-play points, 195 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-1 rating in 2024-25.

Thompson scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the first period while the outcome was still in doubt. Thompson has found the back of the net six times in seven games to begin the month of March, but Wednesday's helper was his first since Feb. 22. On the season, the 27-year-old has piled up 34 goals and 58 points in 58 appearances, and he seems to have found immediate chemistry with new center Josh Norris, offering the possibility of a big finish to the campaign.
