Sabres' Tage Thompson: Game-time decision Thursday

Coach Don Granato said that Thompson (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Detroit on Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Thompson played Tuesday after missing three games with the same injury. He picked up an assist Tuesday against Florida, giving him 46 helpers and 90 points in 73 games. Should he play, Thompson would likely play on the first line as well as the top power play.
