Thornton assisted on Melker Karlsson's game-winning goal and potted an empty-net goal in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Blackhawks. The 35-year-old now has back-to-back two-point outings and has pointed in five straight games. A bothersome shoulder injury forced the ironman to sit out four games in January, but he hit his stride as the month came to a close. The goal was his 11th of the season, matching his total from the 2013-14 campaign in 36 fewer games.
