Thomas (shoulder) could be ready to return Saturday against Colorado, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas will miss a fourth straight game Thursday versus the Avalanche, but it sounds like he's likely closer to probable than questionable for Saturday's rematch with Colorado. The 21-year-old forward has tallied eight points through 21 games this season.

Thomas is expected to miss about two weeks with a shoulder injury, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is officially considered week-to-week, but now we know it's a shoulder injury and the 21-year-old center avoided concussion protocol. Rutherford elaborates that Thomas' injury likely means that fellow pivot Tyler Bozak -- a pending unrestricted free agent -- will stay in St. Louis past the deadline. Thomas has struggled to stay healthy this year, as he previously broke his thumb back in February. He's accrued just eight points through 21 games.

Thomas (upper body) is out Saturday against Minnesota and is considered week-to-week, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas missed 19 games earlier this season with a thumb injury and it's unclear if his current injury is related. The 21-year-old forward will miss at least the next three games, with his earliest chance to play being next Saturday in Arizona. An update on his status will likely be available before then.

Thomas (undisclosed) left Friday's game against Minnesota and will be further evaluated Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas managed to collect two assists in the blowout win before he suffered an injury. An update on his condition could be available Saturday before the rematch with the Wild.

Thomas (thumb) was removed from injured reserve and is expected to play Monday against Vegas, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is on track to return from a 19-game absence and appear in his first contest since early February. The 21-year-old forward had six points in 12 games prior to his injury. He'll likely slide into a bottom-six role Monday.

Head coach Craig Berube said that Thomas (thumb) is "possible" for Monday's game versus the Golden Knights, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has been skating at full speed and handling pucks since Thursday, so even if he doesn't play Monday, it won't be long before he's back in the lineup. The 21-year-old likely will fill the third-line center role if he gains clearance. He provided 42 points over 66 games last season, and he added six points through 12 contests before getting hurt this year. Thomas will need to be activated from injured reserve before entering the lineup.

Head coach Craig Berube said Thursday that Thomas (thumb) has started shooting and handling pucks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is recovering from the broken thumb he suffered Feb. 6 against the Coyotes. At the start of March, Blues GM Doug Armstrong said that Thomas would require at least four more weeks of recovery. However, the 21-year-old center appears ahead of schedule, as Berube said he could be ready by the end of the road trip, which concludes March 25 in Minnesota. The Blues are dealing with a myriad of injuries, so it's unclear where Thomas will slot into the lineup once he's ready. The third-line center role seemed to be his best fit before the injury.

Thomas (thumb) skated on his own after Monday's practice, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

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.

Bleus GM Doug Armstrong said Monday that Thomas (thumb) will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas will remain on injured reserve as he recovers from the fractured thumb he suffered Feb. 6. Early April appears to be his most likely return date at this point. Meanwhile, the Blues are short on depth up the middle, as Tyler Bozak (upper body) is still out for a few more games, and both Ivan Barbashev (ankle) and Jacob De La Rose (lower body) are out long-term.

Thomas (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas broke his left thumb in Saturday's loss to the Coyotes, and he's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks. Jacob De La Rose was recalled from the taxi squad in a corresponding move. He'll add depth up the middle, but Oskar Sundqvist and Ivan Barbashev are the front runners for the third-line center role until Tyler Bozak (upper body) returns.
