Thomas scored a goal and logged 19:13 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas recovered a loose puck in the slot late in the first period and fired it over Connor Hellebuyck's right shoulder to cut Winnipeg's lead to 2-1. This was Thomas' fourth straight game with a goal, and he now has five goals and five assist, all at even strength, through 11 games. The 24-year-old is excelling as the team's No. 1 center -- he's averaging 20:23 of ice time while seeing consistent usage on the power play.

Thomas scored an empty-net goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas ultimately finished off the scoring after the Blues couldn't set up Kevin Hayes for a hat trick. Thomas has two goals in as many games in November. The 24-year-old center is up to three tallies, seven points, 19 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through nine contests overall. He's been one of the Blues' better players in fantasy, though he'll need to keep his shot volume elevated since he doesn't add much physical play.

Thomas scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas got the Blues on the board in the second period, but a comeback never materialized. The center has been solid with two goals and three assists over his last five games, accounting for all but one of his six points through eight games this season. He's added 18 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while averaging 21:23 of ice time per game, over two minutes more than he saw last year.

Thomas notched an assist and six shots on goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas set up Oskar Sundqvist for the empty-net goal in the third period. He hasn't been flashy as the Blues' first-line center, but Thomas has a goal and four assists through six contests. He's added 14 shots on net, a plus-1 rating, five blocked shots and two hits. The 24-year-old continues to show solid playmaking instincts, and he's been solid in helping the Blues open the year 3-2-1.

Thomas registered his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 loss against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas helped slice the Jets' lead to 3-2 at 16:37 of the third period, but St. Louis just couldn't get over the hump. He also chipped in with two shots on goal, a blocked shot and an outstanding 12-for-16 night (75.0 percent) at the faceoff dot. He and the Blues are back on the ice Thursday against the Flames.

Thomas registered two assists in the Blues' 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has three helpers in four contests this season. It's a decent start for the 24-year-old, especially given that the Blues haven't netted a power-play goal yet in 2023-24. Thomas had 65 points in 73 contests last season, including 22 with the man advantage, so power-play success is a meaningful aspect of his production. The Blues are likely to break out of this early special teams funk.

Thomas scored a goal and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 preseason loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas led all Blues forwards with 21:25 of ice time. Now that Ryan O'Reilly has moved on, Thomas is expected to be the team's No. 1 center and should be handling similar ice time this season. After O'Reilly was traded last year, Thomas averaged 19:41 per game and posted five goals and 12 assists over 22 outings. We'd like to see him fire the puck on net more often -- he posted just 106 shots on goal in 73 games last year -- but his passing abilities along with the increased ice time will make him an intriguing fantasy option again this year.

Thomas had a goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas helped out on a Jakub Vrana tally, then lit the lamp himself to tie the score at two apiece with 20 seconds left in the first period. It was all Stars after that, though. With one game left on the Blues' schedule, Thomas has 18 goals and 47 assists in 72 appearances.
