Lorentz notched an assist and five hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz has contributed three points over his last six outings, an improvement on the 11-game drought that preceded this stretch. The 28-year-old has been a fourth-line fixture this season, leading to limited chances to contribute offense in a top-heavy forward group. Lorentz has five goals, three assists, 33 shots on net, 109 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 41 appearances.

Lorentz scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-1 win against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz, who hadn't found the back of the net in 23 games, pushed the Leafs ahead in the second period. His marker stood as the winner. The 28-year-old is a big-body energy fourth-line pivot who's best known for his hits (100) rather than his scoring (four goals, three assists; 38 games). Lorentz's best season came in San Jose in 2022-23 when he played 80 games, scored 10 goals (19 points) and delivered 133 hits.

Lorentz logged an assist and three hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz ended an 11-game point drought when he set up David Kampf's first-period tally. The 28-year-old Lorentz has been a fixture on the Maple Leafs' fourth line this year, adding a physical edge without much offense. He has six points, 29 shots on net, 95 hits and 26 blocked shots through 36 outings overall.

Lorentz produced an assist and six hits in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper on Fraser Minten's third-period tally. He's often been on the fourth line this season, but Lorentz has moved up to the third line over the last couple of contests. The 28-year-old forward still has limited upside on offense. He has five points, 21 shots on net, 62 hits and 22 blocked shots through 24 outings.

Lorentz scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz has two goals over three games since the calendar flipped to November, matching his point total from October. The 28-year-old is filling a fourth-line role, so his offense may be a bit sporadic throughout the campaign. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances.

Lorentz scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz's goal was his first point in 10 games. His ice time is limited, but he already has two goals, three points and 27 hits in 12 games this season. Last year, Lorentz had three points in 38 regular-season appearances with the Panthers. He won't offer fantasy managers much offensively, but he could lay 150-160 hits if he's in the lineup all season.

Lorentz scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Devils. The goal stood as the winner.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz's last NHL goal came more than 11 months ago when he scored the game-winning goal for Florida in a 2-0 victory over Detroit. The big-bodied pivot also had two hits and two blocks in 15:07 of ice time. Lorentz won't be a fantasy star, but he's the kind of hard-scrabble underdog that Leafs fans adore. He wasn't picked until the 12th round in the OHL draft, was overlooked in his first NHL draft and then went in the last round when he was picked by Carolina.

Lorentz signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Maple Leafs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz spent the last month with the Maple Leafs on a PTO, and even though he missed a few days during camp due to an upper-body injury, he's earned a regular contract with the team ahead of the regular season. The 28-year-old made 38 regular-season appearances for the Panthers last year and tallied a goal, three points and 70 hits while averaging 8:47 of ice time.

Lorentz is skating in a regular jersey at Tuesday's practice, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz seems to be past his upper-body injury that has kept him sidelined since Sept. 20. The 28-year-old is in Toronto's camp on a PTO, so the left-shot forward will now have to make up for lost time. Lorentz could unseat a player like Pontus Holmberg on the fourth line if he performs well in the remainder of training camp.

Lorentz will not take part in Friday's training camp session due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz is in camp on a PTO, so he certainly can't afford to be sidelined for any significant time if he is going to earn himself that roster spot. Even if Lorentz does make the team, he may have to settle for a two-way deal that would allow him to shuffle between the NHL and AHL while also spending plenty of time in the press box as a healthy scratch with the Leafs.
