Buffalo Sabres star Tage Thompson has been the team's leading goal-scorer all season, but something seems off in the playoffs. Through seven postseason games, Thompson has yet to find the back of the net—and Friday night's Game 2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens only added to the concern.

It wasn't just the scoreless streak that raised eyebrows. Thompson was caught turning the puck over in dangerous areas, and one costly giveaway directly led to Alexandre Carrier's goal for Montreal. After the game, a reporter asked the obvious question: is Thompson playing through an injury?

Thompson's response was sharp and immediate: "I don't think that's any of your business."

Whether that's frustration boiling over from a tough stretch or a deflection to avoid confirming an injury, it's not a great sign either way for Buffalo. If Thompson is simply in a slump, the Sabres need him to snap out of it fast. If he's hurt, reaching his peak performance in time to keep this storybook season alive becomes even more difficult.

For a team with Stanley Cup aspirations, the Sabres need their leading scorer at his best—and right now, that future looks uncertain.
