Lorentz signed a professional tryout agreement with the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

After speculation that Lorentz would sign a PTO with Toronto on Tuesday, it is now official. Lorentz will look to occupy a spot in Toronto's bottom six, and he'll be a candidate to kill penalties if he makes the team. The 28-year-old forward registered just three points in 38 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, but he did manage to score twice and add an assist in 16 postseason outings with Florida en route to winning the Stanley Cup.

Lorentz scored the game-winning goal and added an assist Thursday in a 5-3 victory over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Panthers' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old fourth-liner went the entire regular season without producing a multi-point performance, but Lorentz came up big when it counted, flipping home a loose puck from the low slot midway through the third period to give Florida a 4-2 lead. He was a healthy scratch for Game 1 and has seen a total of just 11:56 in ice time during the last two contests, so a repeat of Thursday's heroics seems highly unlikely as the Panthers move forward in the playoffs.

Lorentz is no longer under the weather but will serve as a healthy scratch versus Ottawa on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz hasn't registered a point for the Panthers since Nov. 14 against the Sharks, though he has only played 21 games over that stretch. Still, given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by the decision to leave Lorentz out of the lineup.

Lorentz is battling an illness and will miss Saturday's game against Boston, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz has a goal, three points and 67 hits in 36 appearances this season. Due to Lorentz's illness, Jonah Gadjovich will draw into the lineup versus the Bruins.

Lorentz notched three hits and logged 6:11 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

After being a healthy scratch for 11 straight games, Lorentz got a chance to play Saturday because Matthew Tkachuk (undisclosed) and Kevin Stenlund (illness) were unavailable. The 27-year-old Lorentz has contributed one goal, two assists, 22 shots on net and 44 hits across 29 appearances this campaign.

Lorentz posted an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz helped out on Kevin Stenlund's game-winning goal in the third period. All three of Lorentz's points this season have come over seven appearances in November. The 27-year-old forward has added 10 shots on net, 13 hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 15 contests as a fixture on the Panthers' fourth line.

Lorentz scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Sharks in the offseason in the Anthony Duclair trade, Lorentz waited until his ninth game as a Panther to pick up his first point, and he needed a lot of puck luck to do it -- James Reimer couldn't corral his wobbly shot and the puck bounced off the crossbar and the goalie's back and skate before finally sliding across the line. Lorentz is filling a fourth-line role in Florida and isn't being counted on for offense, but the 27-year-old did score a career-high 10 goals and 19 points in 80 games last season.

Florida acquired Lorentz and a 2025 fifth-round pick from San Jose on Saturday in exchange for Anthony Duclair.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz generated 10 goals, 19 points, 111 shots on net and 133 hits in 80 games with the Sharks last season. He will be eligible for unrestricted free agency after the 2023-24 campaign. Lorentz is slated to occupy a bottom-six forward spot with the Panthers.

Lorentz provided a goal and an assist in San Jose's 5-2 loss to Edmonton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz was held off the scoresheet over his previous three outings. His goal was contributed while the Sharks had the man advantage, and it narrowed Edmonton's lead to 4-2 late in the second period. The Sharks' season is over with Lorentz having 10 goals and 19 points in 80 contests. That's a step up from his 2021-22 totals of eight goals and 13 points, though he recorded those numbers in just 67 appearances.

Lorentz scored a goal on four shots and added five hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz quickly cut the deficit to 4-2 after Mikko Rantanen completed his hat trick in the second period. The goal was Lorentz's first point in his last five games. The 26-year-old forward has taken on some more responsibility lately, though he remains in a bottom-six role. For the season, he has career highs in goals (nine) and points (17) with 105 shots on net, 125 hits and a minus-14 rating through 76 appearances.
