Lorentz has five goals, three assists, 33 shots on net, 109 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 41 appearances.

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Snaps 23-game goal drought

  Rotowire Dec 31, 2024

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

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Registers assist in win

  Rotowire Dec 3, 2024

He has five points, 21 shots on net, 62 hits and 22 blocked shots through 24 outings.

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Deposits empty-netter

  Rotowire Nov 6, 2024

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

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Earns one-year contract

  Rotowire Oct 7, 2024

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

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Sustains upper-body injury

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2024

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

• Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Trying out for Toronto

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2024

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

• Panthers' Steven Lorentz: Two points including Game 3 winner

  Rotowire Apr 26, 2024

  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. 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.

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2024

• Panthers' Steven Lorentz: First Florida goal a game-winner

  Rotowire Nov 3, 2023

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