Thornton dished out two even-strength assists and had five shots in Tuesday's win 5-4 over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton has been on fire for the Sharks recently, racking up 11 points in his last 11 games. More points could be expected for the 39-year-old, as he's averaged 1:44 of power-play time this campaign. With 42 points in 61 games, Thornton has been a solid fantasy producer, even at the back end of his career.

Thornton scored his 14th goal of the season, and it stood as the decisive tally in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens on Thursday.

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.

Thornton picked up two assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

The elder statesman last had a multi-point game at the beginning of December. But over the last month, Thornton has 11 points (four games, seven assists) in his last 13 games. This warmth is fantasy worthy.

Thornton recorded his 17th assist of the season in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old is averaging a career-worst 0.58 points per game. Thornton now has 27 points in 46 games this season and even though Jumbo Joe is a household name in many hockey circles, he is no longer a top-level option in fantasy, as Thornton only has three multi-point performances in 2018-19.

Thornton scored for the third time in four nights Saturday, helping his team to a 4-1 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

At 39 years old, Thornton might not be the player he once was, but he's still fairly effective. He's in the groove at the moment, so it's a good idea to grab him at a low price in daily leagues and hope he can keep producing.

Thornton scored a fortuitous goal in Tuesday's 7-2 home win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton's eighth goal of the season deflected off a defenseman's skate and went past goalie Mikko Koskinen. The 39-year-old center has an appreciable offensive total comprised of 20 points through 36 games.

Thornton (undisclosed) is on the ice for pregame warmups, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Stars, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton is expected to slot into his usual spot in the lineup, skating on San Jose's third line and second power-play unit against Dallas. The 39-year-old has remained a solid depth scorer at his advanced age for the Sharks this campaign, notching four goals and 12 points in 23 appearances.

Thornton is questionable for Thursday night's home game against the Stars, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. According to Sharks coach Peter DeBoer, the veteran center is "dealing with a little something."

EDGE Analysis

The vague disclosure of Thornton's issue makes it difficult to tell how much time he will miss -- if any time at all -- but we're talking about a 39-year-old who probably requires more day-to-day maintenance that your average player. Look for the Sharks to provide another update on his status ahead of the next game.

Thornton (knee) will return to action Tuesday night against the visiting Rangers, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton barely logged 30 minutes of ice time between the season's first two games before aggravating his surgically repaired knee. Even at 39 years old, Jumbo Joe should be able to maintain a top-six lineup position as long as he's healthy enough to do what he does best -- setting up his teammates for an abundance of scoring opportunities. Thornton ranks 12th all-time in helpers with 1,031 of those in just 1,495 career contests between the Bruins and Sharks.

Thornton (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Ducks, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jumbo Joe has been traveling with the Sharks, but the 39-year-old center will miss his eighth straight game. Given his age and importance to the club, it's no surprise that all the necessary precautions are being taken with Thornton's injury, particularly because the veteran aggravated the surgically repaired right knee. His next chance to play will arrive Tuesday for a home clash with the Rangers.
