Thompson (lower body) will not return to Monday's game against Tampa Bay.
Scouting Report
The huge (6'7") forward is still growing into his body and learning how to use it to his advantage at the NHL level. Can play center but is probably even more intimidating on the wing, where his size can dominate. Is a coach's son whose defensive game should only improve with more experience.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, productive power forward.
