EDGE Analysis

Head coach Craig Berube said Thomas is making good progress, and he could join the team for practice Tuesday. The 21-year-old isn't expected to return for at least a couple more weeks. However, this is an encouraging sign that he'll be at full speed at that time. Prior to breaking his thumb, Thomas put up a goal and five assists across 12 games.
