• Blues' Robert Thomas: Power-play helper in return

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. Thomas missed 12 games due to an ankle fracture. He returned in just under a month after being given a six-week timeline, and his presence in the lineup should elevate the Blues' offense across the board. The center has seven points (one goal, six assists), 14 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through eight contests overall. Thomas also won 14 of 23 faceoffs Tuesday and has a 62.4 percent win rate at the dot this season, by far the best mark of his career, albeit with plenty of the campaign left to play.

• Blues' Robert Thomas: Suffers fractured ankle

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas will be out for at least six weeks after suffering a fractured ankle against Winnipeg on Tuesday. As a result, the team designated him for injured reserve. Thomas will be out of action until at least early December, though it could certainly be longer considering he will need to get back up to speed once cleared to resume skating. It's a huge blow for both the Blues and Thomas, as the 25-year-old center was rolling early in the season with six points through seven outings. In his stead, both Pavel Buchnevich and Brayden Schenn could be candidates to take over the first-line center role.
