EDGE Analysis

Thornton has not played since Jan. 23, a stretch of 40 games missed. Prior to getting hurt, the notched nine points in seven games and would provide a nice offensive boost to a club that just got blanked in Game 1 by Marc-Andre Fleury. Until the team makes an official announcement, fantasy owners should plan to avoid using Jumbo Job in their lineups.
