Out at least one month Thornton will be sidelined for at least a month with a rib fracture, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Considering he's expected to be sidelined until late February, it's safe to assume Thornton will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days. Ilya MIkheyev is expected to get the first crack at replacing Jumbo in the Maple Leafs' top six.

Impact At this point, it seems clear the team is expecting Thornton to miss a significant chunk of time but won't know the extent of the injury until after Thursday's test results. In the meantime, Jimmy Vesey will get first crack at the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, though Ilya Mikheyev could also be a candidate in the future.

Extended absence expected Coach Sheldon Keefe said following Wednesday's win over the Oilers that Thornton (undisclosed) is expected to miss time, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Impact Thornton was forced to leave the game after he was bumped into the boards awkwardly in the second period. Keefe said that Thornton is expected to undergo x-rays or an MRI, so it's likely that more specifics off the injury will come to light in the coming days. With the veteran sidelined, Adam Brooks and Pierre Engvall would be the likely candidates to move into the lineup, and the team will likely bring in reinforcements in the form of the minors or the taxi squad soon.

First goal in blue and white Thornton scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Ottawa. It was his first goal in a Toronto uniform.
Impact And with that, Jumbo became the second-oldest Leafs player to score a goal -- he's 41 years and 198 days old. If he scores after March 12, then he gets that crown. And a fun note -- Thornton scored his first career NHL goal before anyone on the Sens' top line was born. His game has never been built on speed and that's the basis of today's NHL. But Jumbo showed he's still got great hands and is going to deliver remarkably solid fantasy production in blue and white.

Making way to Toronto Thornton is set to travel to Toronto ahead of the opening of NHL training camps, ending his stint with Davos HC.
Impact Thornton registered five goals and six helpers in 12 contests with Davos. It was the third time Jumbo Joe laced up his skates for the Swiss club, having previously played for the club during the last two lockouts. The 41-year-old center will be joining the Leafs following a 15-year stint in San Jose, in which he logged 1104 games and racked up 251 goals and 804 assists. Not exactly the 80-point producer he was in his younger days, Thornton is still capable of chipping in 25-30 points this year even with the abridged schedule.
