Gardiner scored the Leafs' only goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

He's been chipping in here and there, with three points in the last five games, but Gardiner remains a worse-than-mediocre fantasy producer for a Leafs team that doesn't generate much offensively and has goaltending issues. In some ways, he's a victim of his circumstances, but Gardiner also simply hasn't been as good over the last couple years as he was in his 10-goal, 31-point 2013-14.
