Tage Thompson is keeping the same mindset that has fueled his career-best campaign as he chases the 40-goal mark with two games remaining in the Sabres' season.
Thompson is currently riding a six-game point streak, pushing him to 37 goals and 30 assists. The Sabres visit the Boston Bruins on Thursday and conclude the season at home against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.
"Obviously, reaching 40 goals would really be an incredible achievement," Thompson said. "It's hard not to think about it, but you try just to block it out and focus on the team stuff because that's what really matters. I think when you start focusing on the numbers, that's when you'll probably get snake bitten."
