EDGE Analysis
Thornton hadn't scored since his hat trick on Feb. 18, but he did have four assists in his previous six games before Thursday's goal. Thornton added a plus-3 rating in the contest. The 39-year-old center has 39 points in 58 games this season, and can still provide some value to fantasy owners in deeper formats without an emphasis on physical play.
