Thomas (illness) was not in attendance for practice Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports, and should be considered questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas still has two more days to get back to 100 percent in order to avoid missing any additional games. In 51 games this season, the 22-year-old center has already set personal bests in goals (12), assists (36) and power-play points (nine). Once cleared to play, Thomas should reclaim his place in a top-six role which will bump Oskar Sundqvist from the second line.
