Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson will return to the ice Wednesday night following a five-game absence.
Sabers coach Lindy Ruff confirmed Thompson’s return to the lineup against the visiting Minnesota Wild.
Thompson, 27, sustained a lower-body injury during a 7-5 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 11. The Sabres were 4-1-0 in his absence.
Thompson has recorded 18 points (team-high 11 goals, seven assists) in 16 games this season.
He has 271 points (143 goals, 128 assists) in 388 games with the St. Louis Blues (2017-18) and Sabres. St. Louis drafted him in the first round (26th overall) in 2016.
