Thompson was placed on waivers Saturday for the purpose of reassignment to the AHL, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
If he clears waivers, Thompson is poised to begin the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Utica again after tallying seven goals and 26 points in the AHL last season. The 24-year-old Thompson has played in 11 NHL games with the Devils over the previous three seasons, with his lone point (an assist) coming in 2020.
