He was drafted 50th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.[6] However, after returning to the OHL for the 2001–2002 season, the Centennials were sold to Saginaw and he split his season between the Saginaw Spirit and the Plymouth Whalers.[7] On December 2, 2005, Thorburn made his NHL debut in 5-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks[8] and recorded his first career NHL point the following game against the Colorado Avalanche.[9] He was returned to American Hockey League on December 7, after playing in two games.[9]
On October 3, 2006, Thorburn was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins.[10] He recorded his first career NHL goal on November 6, 2006, in a 3–2 overtime loss against the Anaheim Ducks.[11] After one season with the Penguins, Thorburn was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers for a third-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.[12]
Enjoying a career year during the 2010–11 season and in his fourth year with the Thrashers, Thorburn was signed to a three-year contract extension on February 26, 2011.[13] On June 30, 2014, the Winnipeg Jets re-signed Thorburn to a three-year, $3.6 million contract extension.[14]
On June 21, 2017, as an impending free agent from the Jets, he was left exposed and claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft.[15] For selecting Thorburn the Jets traded their first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and a third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Columbus' first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft which was previously acquired by the Golden Knights.[16] Although being selected by the Golden Knights in the expansion draft, Thorburn would become a free agent. On July 1, 2017, he signed a two-year, $1.8 million deal with the St. Louis Blues.[17]
In the 2018–19 season, Thorburn made one appearance with the Blues before he was placed on waivers and re-assigned to AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, for the majority of the campaign.
