Thomson has experienced a unique week on the waiver wire. After being originally placed on waivers last week by Ottawa, he now finds himself back with the Senators after being placed on waivers again by Anaheim. Thomson, the 19th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, played 56 games last season for the Belleville Senators (AHL), recording 33 points (7G / 26A) in 56 games.

Thomson was placed on waivers by Ottawa and claimed by Anaheim on Sunday. The 23-year-old defenseman was Ottawa's 2019 first-round draft pick (19th overall) and had played 18 NHL games in two seasons for the Senators, picking up five assists. Thomson spent the majority of 2022-23 with the Belleville Senators (AHL) and had seven goals, 26 assists, 28 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 56 games.

The 2019 1st round pick (19th overall) was recalled for the first time this season after putting up three goals and seven assists along with eight PIMs through 15 games with Belleville (AHL). In 16 career NHL games prior the season, he has five assists through 16 GP.

Thomson has played in four straight games but played just 10:50 TOI last night, with Erik Brannstrom being elevated. Thomson will be replaced by Victor Mete.

Thomson has eight points (5G / 3A) in 15 games with Belleville this season. During his time with Ottawa, he has three assists in 12 games. He should draw into the lineup on Tuesday with Erik Brannstrom landing in COVID-19 protocol.

The 2019 No.19 overall pick has been recalled because the Senators are down eight players due to COVID-19 but it doesn't appear as if he will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
