Winterton scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Winterton's two goals this year have come over the last four games. The 22-year-old is doing a good job of maintaining a bottom-six spot in the lineup. That's not a role that will lead to much offense, but he could play himself into more ice time as the season progresses. Winterton has three points, 14 shots on net, 18 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances.

Winterton scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Sharks.
Winterton's goal was the first of his NHL career. The 22-year-old has earned two points over his last five outings as he continues to solidify a place as a fourth-line forward who can kill penalties.
