Thomas had a goal and two assists with a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-1 victory over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas opened the scoring with his eighth of the year less than five minutes into the game. He also drew assists on goals by Tyler Bozak and Alexander Steen. The three-point night gave Thomas eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last seven games and the 20-year-old sophomore has now produced a solid 24 points in 40 games on the year.

Thomas scored two goals on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was strong in this contest, but many of his teammates weren't. The 20-year-old is up to 21 points (seven tallies, 14 helpers) through 37 games. He's got three goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. The two hits were a bit unusual -- Thomas has delivered just nine checks this season.

Thomas notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has a goal and two helpers in his last three games. The 20-year-old is prone to streaky play in his second NHL season, but he's compiled a solid 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) through 36 contests. He's not much of a physical player, however, as he's added only seven hits and 10 PIM, but fantasy owners shouldn't overlook his skills on offense.

Thomas scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Thomas' first power-play point of 2019-20. The 20-year-old plays primarily on St. Louis' third line but is also part of its second power-play unit, finishing Sunday's win with 1:00 of ice time with the man advantage. As long as Thomas remains involved in St. Louis' power-play plans, his fantasy value will be tough to ignore.

Thomas provided three assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas twice linked up with Tyler Bozak to start the Blues' comeback. The 20-year-old also set up Justin Faulk's game-winner. Thomas is riding a four-game point streak (one goal, five assists), and now has 16 points through 29 appearances overall. While he won't mix it up much (six PIM, six hits), the solid depth scoring could be worth a look to fantasy owners in deeper season-long formats, as well as DFS while the winger's on a heater.

Thomas scored a goal on two shots and had a block in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old kept his momentum going with his third straight game with a point, including his first goal since Nov. 6. In his second full NHL season, Thomas is now up to 13 points, 34 shots on goal and six blocks through 28 games. Though the Blues didn't receive a power play Thursday, Thomas has 1:22 of average power-play time this campaign, adding to his fantasy value going forward.

Thomas registered three assists during a 5-0 win over the Flames on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Playing a more significant role with the Blues since Vladimir Tarasenko suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out of the lineup for months, Thomas has put up four assists in two games and now has eight points in 18 games. If he's available, the 20-year-old holds solid value at the moment, as long as Tarasenko remains out of St. Louis' lineup.

Thomas earned the lone assist on Oscar Sundqvist's shorthanded goal during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Since Vladimir Tarasenko went down with a shoulder injury, Thomas has seen his role increase with the Blues. The shorthanded assist against Tampa Bay gives Thomas five points in 17 games, so there's still work to do if the 20-year-old wants to be viewed as a reliable fantasy asset in 2019-20.

Thomas scored a goal, racked up three hits and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' second-period tally would ultimately count as the game-winning goal. The first-round pick from 2017 is up to four points in 12 games, but three of those points have come in his last four outings. Currently, Thomas is seeing top-line minutes with Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) out long-term. The recent uptick in points may be enough to keep the 20-year-old in that prime position, but he'll need to continue producing consistently to carry fantasy relevance, as he has just four hits and 14 shots this year.

Thomas has one goal and a minus-3 rating through seven games this year.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has been given top-line opportunities with Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) sitting out, and he struggled in the role Sunday with a minus-1 rating and just one shot on goal. Tarasenko has been ruled out for five months now, so Thomas will be in the mix for a full-time role with the top unit. He certainly has the potential to help fill the void. It's not that he has the ability to reach 30 goals like Tarasenko, but Thomas has the speed and vision to work well with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz. Expect Craig Berube to blend the lines until something sticks, though, so Thomas will need to make the most of his opportunities.
