Thomas scored an empty-net goal during Tuesday's 7-4 victory over the host Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas, who has amassed 16 points during his past 14 outings, scored on his lone shot Tuesday to halt the Islanders' three-goal, third-period rally. The 23-year-old center converted on his first marker in eight outings. Skating on the top line, Thomas assumed the team lead in scoring with 23 points, including 18 helpers.

Thomas (lower body) says he is good to go Thursday against Carolina, according to Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas missed Monday's tilt against Dallas. He had his five-game points streak come to an end Saturday and has four goals and 19 points in 21 games this season.

Thomas (lower body) hopes to return to the Blues' lineup Thursday against Carolina, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas, who didn't play Monday versus Dallas because of the injury, took part in Wednesday's practice and said afterward that "it went really well." He skated on the first line with Pavel Buchnevich and Vladimir Tarasenko. Thomas has four goals and 19 points in 21 contests this season. If he is able to play Thursday, Nathan Walker will likely be a healthy scratch after participating in the Blues' last two contests.

Thomas won't play Monday against Dallas because of a lower-body injury, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is listed as day-to-day after being hurt in Saturday's game against Florida. He had been heating up, with two goals and 10 assists in his past 10 games following a sluggish start to the season. Ivan Barbashev is projected to take Thomas' place between Pavel Buchnevich and Vladimir Tarasenko.

Thomas scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas tied the game at 1-1 in the second period and then set up Jordan Kyrou's quick strike in the third. With two multi-point efforts in his last three games, Thomas' offense may be coming around after an unsteady start to the campaign. The 23-year-old center is up to three goals, eight assists, 22 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 14 contests.

Thomas recorded two assists in the Blues' 5-3 win over San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has two goals and nine points in 12 games this season. He set a high bar in 2021-22 with 77 points in 72 contests and hasn't been quite able to match that pace this time around. To be fair to him though, the Blues as a whole have struggled offensively, so it's not just him. This is just the fourth time this season that St. Louis has scored at least three goals.

Thomas notched two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas helped out on a Brayden Schenn goal in the first period and Justin Faulk's overtime tally. The pair of helpers gave Thomas three assists and a plus-4 rating through two contests this year, though he's added just one shot on goal. The 23-year-old is known more as a pass-first player, so it's no surprise to see him pile up apples, though he was also a 20-goal scorer in 2021-22.

Thomas signed an eight-year, $65 million contract extension with the Blues on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas broke out in a big way in 2021-22, setting career highs in goals (20), assists (57), plus-minus rating (plus-17), shots (115), power-play points (14) and average ice time (18:47) through 72 regular-season appearances. At just 23 years old, Thomas is just about to enter his prime, and assuming last season wasn't a flash in the pan, he should remain a high-end fantasy asset for most, if not all of his new contract.

Thomas posted an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas' offense came alive late in the second round with two goals and an assist in his last two games, but it wasn't enough to save the Blues' season. He set up a Justin Faulk tally in the first period Friday. Thomas had six points, 20 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating in 12 postseason contests, showing some flashes of offense with room to grow on defense. The 22-year-old was excellent with 20 goals, 57 assists and a plus-17 rating in 72 regular-season outings, so he should be a fairly popular mid-to-late round pick in next season's fantasy drafts.

Thomas scored twice on six shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas tallied twice in the third period, with the second of his goals coming with 56 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. He hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in the last five games, and his last goal came on April 21. The 22-year-old center has just five points with 20 shots, 13 hits, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating in 11 playoff outings.
