Thornton was held off the score sheet Saturday in a 6-5 win over the Senators. His point drought now stands at 12 games.

EDGE Analysis

He has one assist in his last 17 games. Jumbo did see 1:05 on the power play Saturday, but at even strength his lack of speed really shows, especially against a buzzsaw team like the young Sens. Thornton isn't worth a roster spot at this point given the depth of the Leafs. He's toiling way down the lineup.

Thornton has three assists in nine games since his return from injury.

EDGE Analysis

His ice time has swung from 11:57 to 17:01, but he hasn't found twine since Feb. 18. Thornton also hasn't been able to recapture the heat he showed before he went into the infirmary -- he was on a four-game, seven-point streak. Thornton still has talent, but right now, you need to find a more productive replacement until he fires up his offense again.

Thornton (lower body) will play in Saturday's game versus the Oilers, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton is ready to return after two games on the shelf. The 41-year-old has been outstanding on Auston Matthews' left wing this year, recording nine points in as many games. However, Matthews will sit out Saturday with a wrist injury. Thornton could still flank John Tavares, so his fantasy upside is decent for Saturday's contest.

Thornton (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday night's matchup with Edmonton, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton was a full participant at Friday's practice, so he's likely closer to probable than questionable for Saturday's contest. The veteran forward, who's picked up nine points in nine games this campaign, has missed Toronto's last two contests with a lower-body injury.

Thornton (lower body) remains unavailable Wednesday against the Flames, Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The same is true for goaltender Frederik Andersen (lower body) and defenseman Jake Muzzin (face), so Toronto will be shorthanded up front, on the blue line and in net. Thornton will hope to heal up by Saturday's game against the Oilers and try to extend the four-game point streak he had built up before getting hurt.

Thornton is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is Thornton's latest injury isn't related to the rib issue that forced him to miss extended time earlier this season, but his status for Wednesday's game versus Calgary nonetheless remains up in the air. The 41-year-old forward has racked up nine points through nine games this year.

Thornton (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Flames, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton has been electric since returning from a broken rib Feb. 15, recording two goals and five assists across seven games. It's uncertain if Thornton's absence is related to his prior rib injury. Nevertheless, the 41-year-old will aim to return to the lineup in Wednesday's rematch against the Flames.

Thornton provided a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton set up Travis Boyd for the tally just 1:20 into the second period. In four games since returning from a rib injury, Thornton has two goals and five helpers. The veteran forward is in quite the groove while still seeing decent playing time -- he's averaged over 15 minutes per game this year. Thornton has three goals, six helpers, 11 shots on net and a plus-4 rating in nine contests.

Thornton scored and picked two apples in a 7-3 win over Ottawa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton has six points (two goals, four assists) in three games since his return from injury. The guy is on fire -- he had two goals disallowed Wednesday night, too. Jumbo has real chemistry with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews, even though he's a tortoise in comparison to their hare-like speed. Make sure Thornton is back in your lineup. He is on his way to his best production in a half-decade.

Thornton scored a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Seeing his first action in almost a month after suffering a rib injury against the Oilers on Jan. 20, the 41-year-old wasted little time in making an impact, helping to set up Auston Matthews for the game's opening goal less than seven minutes into the first period. He then got credit for a greasy tally of his own in the second, as the puck wound up caroming past Marcus Hogberg off Thornton's skate as he crashed the Ottawa net. The performance doubled his goal and point totals on the season, but with a spot on the Leafs' top line alongside Matthews and Mitch Marner, Thornton could quickly boost those numbers now that he's healthy.
