Thompson suffered an upper-body injury right before the All-Star break and didn’t participate in the game or any activities surrounding All-Star Weekend. The good news is that the ASB and the bye week couldn’t have come at a better time, as Thompson won’t miss a game due to the injury.
The Sabres are fighting for a playoff spot this season and can’t afford to lose their best scorer for any time. Buffalo sits 11th in the Eastern Conference but is only a few points behind several teams in front of them, with many games in hand on just about everyone.
On Saturday, the Sabres will host the Calgary Flames. The Sabres are -230 (+1.5) on the puck line and +110 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 6.5, over (-118), and under (-105). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
