Thomas underwent a minor leg procedure Friday and is expected to play in the Blues' first game after the Olympic break, which is Feb. 26 versus the Kraken, Alex Ferrario of 101 ESPN St. Louis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas' operation will shut down the possibility that he'll return prior to the Olympics, which was viewed as a potentiality as recently as Friday. Instead, he'll rest and recoup for the next four weeks before being expected for a full return for the last stretch of the season. Thomas remains on injured reserve.

Thomas (lower body) is still regarded as day-to-day, so it's possible he'll return before the Olympic break, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Louis will play against Columbus on Saturday, in Nashville on Monday and in Dallas on Wednesday before the Olympic break starts. Thomas hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 10, and it's not guaranteed that he'll play in any of those upcoming pre-Olympics games, but the possibility still exists. The 26-year-old has 11 goals and 33 points in 42 outings in 2025-26 and should serve in a top-six capacity and first power-play unit when he's healthy.

Thomas (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday and will be out for at least two weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas could be in danger of missing all 10 of the Blues' games prior to the Olympic break, with the club saying he would be re-evaluated at the two-week mark. With the lengthy layoff, the 26-year-old center will almost certainly miss the 80-point threshold for the first time since 2022-23. In the meantime, Brayden Schenn figures to continue serving in a first-line role with Thomas on the shelf.

Thomas (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's clash in Tampa Bay, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was injured Saturday, and Friday will mark his second straight game out of the lineup. The 26-year-old center has 11 goals and 22 assists over 42 games this season. He could return as early as Sunday in Edmonton.

Thomas (lower body) is slated to miss Tuesday's home contest against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

According to the Blues, Thomas has been dealing with an injury that he recently aggravated, presumably in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The right-shot center didn't participate in Tuesday's morning skate and is considered day-to-day at this time. Brayden Schenn will skate between Otto Stenberg and Jimmy Snuggerud on the top line Tuesday, and Dalibor Dvorsky is set to center the second line as a result of Thomas' absence.

Thomas (lower body) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Carolina, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas didn't participate in Monday's practice. He has compiled 11 goals, 33 points, 60 shots on net and 23 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season. If Thomas is unavailable to play against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Brayden Schenn will probably center the Blues' top line.

Thomas scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was in on both of the Blues' goals for his first multi-point effort since Dec. 27. This was also just his second goal in his last nine outings. The playmaking center is up to 11 goals, 33 points (nine on the power play), 60 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 42 appearances.

Thomas scored a shorthanded goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Following his takeaway near center ice, Thomas dangled past multiple defenders to create an opening for Alexei Toropchenko to fire a shot, which Thomas rebounded off the save to backhand a shorthanded goal. With the tally down a man, the 26-year-old center now has 10 goals, 30 points, 57 shots on net and 23 blocks through 39 outings this season. Saturday's goal helped him become the first skater for the Blues to reach 30 points this season. Despite going scoreless in the three games prior to Saturday's, Thomas still has 13 points over the last 14 contests. It would take a monstrous effort for the Blues' top-line center to reach the 80-point mark for the third consecutive season, but he is likely on track for his fourth season with 70-plus points in the last five years.

Thomas recorded two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas dished out both of the primary helpers on Pavel Buchnevich's consecutive goals in Saturday's contest. Overall, Thomas is up to 20 assists, 29 points, 54 shots on net and 21 blocks through 35 games this season. Despite St. Louis' struggles offensively, the 26-year-old center has produced a point-per-game rate over his last 16 outings, which has him eight points clear of any other skater on the team. Fresh off consecutive seasons with 60 assists, Thomas has the ability to heat up in the second half of the season, making him a strong fantasy option in nearly all formats with high upside.

Thomas recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was a dominant offensive force for the Blues and participated in three of the team's six goals. This was Thomas' third multi-point effort across his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's racked up nine points (five goals, four helpers), 18 shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.
