Thornton assisted on both of Tomas Hertl's goals and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

At this point in the season, it may be time to sit both Thornton and Jaromir Jagr in the same room and question them about the fountain of youth. The 36-year-old has erupted for 78 points this year, sweetening the deal with a plus-26 rating. The 1997 No. 1 pick reaches the scoresheet on the regular, and has done so in four straight to the tune of a power-play goal and five apples.
