Tage Thompson enjoyed the game of a lifetime Wednesday night.
The 25-year-old Sabres winger scored five goals in a 9-4 win over the Blue Jackets. It’s the 60th time in NHL history that a player has scored at least five goals in a game. The feat has been accomplished only five times this century.
Thompson scored four goals in the first period alone. He also added an assist to record his second six-point game of the season. He entered the game with 16 goals in 25 games this season.
