Thompson totaled a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Thompson opened the scoring 3:49 into the first and helped Alex Tuch make it 2-0 just 2:36 later, but it was all Carolina after that. With four goals and two assists during his current four-game point streak, Thompson has raised his career-high totals to 32 goals and 57 points. The growth in his game has been remarkable considering Thompson entered the season with just 35 points through 145 games.
