Thomas posted a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas set up James Neal's goal just 38 seconds into the third period. The 22-year-old Thomas has put his playmaking on display to begin 2021-22 -- he has four assists and just two shots on net through four appearances. The Canadian center isn't known for shot volume, but he'll need to take a few more chances himself to earn widespread appeal in fantasy.

Thomas posted an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
After going scoreless in the season opener, Thomas has supplied three assists in his last two games. The 22-year-old center has added just one shot on goal with a plus-2 rating while working in a third-line role to begin the season. The scoring potential in a deep Blues lineup should keep Thomas on the fantasy radar, although his role remains somewhat limited.

Thomas registered two assists, went 9-for-13 in faceoffs and added a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas helped out on goals by Klim Kostin and Ivan Barbashev in the contest. The 22-year-old Thomas has good vision as a playmaking center, although a deep forward group in St. Louis has him limited to a third-line role for now. The Ontario native will need to score his way onto the fantasy radar -- he doesn't play a physical style, nor does he pump pucks on net at will.

Thomas signed a two-year contract worth $5.6 million with the Blues on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was a restricted free agent, but he's put pen to paper just before training camp. The 22-year-old was limited to 12 points in 33 contests last year, but he's one year removed from a 42-point effort in 66 games. He's expected to see a third-line role at even strength, though his playmaking skill should allow him to earn some power-play time, as well.

EDGE Analysis
Thomas snapped his personal 10-game goal drought midway through the second period, using a nifty toe drag in the right circle before wristing a shot past Colorado netminder Jonas Johansson to make it a 4-1 game. It was just the second goal of the year for Thomas and his first since Feb. 6.

Thomas (upper body) will return to St. Louis' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Avalanche, source reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has been limited to just 21 games this season due to various injuries, picking up one goal and eight points over that span. He'll likely slot into a middle-six role for Saturday's contest.
