Before this shot, Thompson already had the record for the hardest shot in 2024. Back on Oct. 26 against the Detroit Red Wings, Thompson reached 104.69 MPH with a shot. However, he ended the year by breaking his own record.

Thompson is known for his excellent shot, and this latest record only proves that further. It's a notable reason why he leads all Sabres players in goals this season with 18 in 33 contests.
