Anyone who’s watched a Buffalo Sabres game this season already knows that forward Tage Thompson is an all-star player. Now, the NHL has validated that, naming Thompson as one of 32 initial players rostered for the 2023 All-Star Game. The All-Star Game and skills competition will be held February 3-4 in Sunrise, Florida, hosted by the Florida Panthers.
Thompson has recorded 55 points, including 30 goals, in just 36 games. He is third in the NHL in points, behind only Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and second in goals - one ahead of Alex Ovechkin.
