The 27-year-old has three three-point performances in his last five appearances, piling up six goals and 11 points in that stretch, and Thompson sits two goals short of his third career 30-goal campaign.
Thompson is on standby as an emergency injury replacement for Team USA in the 4 Nations championship game against Canada.
Three Sabres players ultimately got the call to participate at 4 Nations, the first best-on-best international competition in men’s hockey since the 2016 World Cup: Rasmus Dahlin (Sweden), Henri Jokiharju (Finland), and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (Finland).
The Sabres have 30 goals since Jan. 28, and their average of five per game is tied for the most in the NHL with Washington.
