Thornton has been out since January 20th with a rib fracture but was a full participant in Sunday's practice and told reporters he "can't wait to play tomorrow" after the session. Thornton, who had one goal and one assist in five games before getting hurt, was back on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.
