Sabres' Tage Thompson: Supplies only offense in loss

Thompson scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

He tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period with a one-timer from the faceoff dot, but it was the only offense the Sabres could muster. Thompson managed only one assist in the seven games prior to the All-Star break, so Tuesday's tally is a good sign he could be about to heat up again. It's been a disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old overall -- through 40 contests he's produced just 15 goals and 29 points.
