To absolutely no one’s surprise, Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson has once again been recognized by the NHL as one of the league’s three stars for the week ending December 18.
Thompson was named second star after putting up eight points (4-4) in just three games. Half of his goals over the past week were game-winning tallies, too. Anyone who’s watched the Sabres or paid any attention to the NHL at large this season knows how huge Thompson has been for the Sabres - literally and figuratively.
This was the second straight week that Thompson was named second star.
