Thornton collected two assists in Saturday's Game 5 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton has had a strong series thus far, notching a goal and four assists in five games. The veteran has eight points in 10 postseason games and is one of the key reasons the Sharks have a chance to close out the series Monday. Look for the 36-year-old to play a big role in the offense as the Sharks look to move onto the Western Conference Final.
