Thomas scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

During the streak, he has five goals and six assists, and he's up to 16 goals, 44 points, 76 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Slated to play Thursday
Rotowire
Thomas (upper body) is slated to play in Thursday's game against the Hurricanes.
Thomas suffered an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Islanders, but the issue is believed to be minor, and the 26-year-old should be able to suit up after skating on the first line during Thursday's morning skate. Thomas has been dominant over five appearances in March, racking up four goals, five assists, eight blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-10 rating while averaging 17:50 of ice time.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Likely to play through injury
Rotowire
Thomas has an upper-body injury that head coach Jim Montgomery believes the center can play through, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Thomas was hit in the hand in Tuesday's contest, but he was able to finish it. At this point, it doesn't appear that the Blues are overly concerned about the issue, but it bears paying attention to Thomas' status ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Hurricanes. In Tuesday's game, Thomas had two assists and a plus-3 rating, but he took only one faceoff prior to the injury and none after returning to the ice, so he may be held off from those duties for a while. He has 42 points in 47 outings this season.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Tallies twice Friday
Rotowire
Thomas scored two goals on five shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
Thomas remained with the Blues through the trade deadline, and for Friday's game, that proved to be critical. The 26-year-old put his team ahead 2-1 late in the second period and then secured the win with another goal 54 seconds into overtime. He has four goals and two assists over three games since he returned from a leg injury. The star center is at 15 goals, 39 points, 70 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 45 appearances this season. The Blues traded away a lot of leadership at the deadline, parting ways with Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk, but Thomas could help fill the void as a leader for the team moving forward.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Goal, assist in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Thomas scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Thomas has back-to-back two-point games since he returned from a leg injury. The 26-year-old center has added five shots on net and a plus-3 rating in those contests. For the season, he's up to 13 goals, 37 points, 65 shots, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 44 outings. This was the Blues' last game before the trade deadline -- if he's not dealt, he'll continue his top-line role when they face the Sharks on Friday night.
Thomas scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
Thomas missed 13 games between a leg injury that required a procedure and a personal matter. The 26-year-old is now back to bolster the Blues' top line, at least for now -- his name has been surfacing in trade rumors since St. Louis has woefully under-performed in 2025-26. Thomas has done his part fairly well with 12 goals, 23 assists, 63 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 43 outings.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Undergoes minor procedure
Rotowire
Thomas underwent a minor leg procedure Friday and is expected to play in the Blues' first game after the Olympic break, which is Feb. 26 versus the Kraken, Alex Ferrario of 101 ESPN St. Louis reports.
Thomas' operation will shut down the possibility that he'll return prior to the Olympics, which was viewed as a potentiality as recently as Friday. Instead, he'll rest and recoup for the next four weeks before being expected for a full return for the last stretch of the season. Thomas remains on injured reserve.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Might return before Olympics
Rotowire
Thomas (lower body) is still regarded as day-to-day, so it's possible he'll return before the Olympic break, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Friday.
St. Louis will play against Columbus on Saturday, in Nashville on Monday and in Dallas on Wednesday before the Olympic break starts. Thomas hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 10, and it's not guaranteed that he'll play in any of those upcoming pre-Olympics games, but the possibility still exists. The 26-year-old has 11 goals and 33 points in 42 outings in 2025-26 and should serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit when he's healthy.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Thomas (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday and will be out for at least two weeks.
Thomas could be in danger of missing all 10 of the Blues' games prior to the Olympic break, with the club saying he would be re-evaluated at the two-week mark. With the lengthy layoff, the 26-year-old center will almost certainly miss the 80-point threshold for the first time since 2022-23. In the meantime, Brayden Schenn figures to continue serving in a first-line role with Thomas on the shelf.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Not expected to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Thomas (lower body) is slated to miss Tuesday's home contest against the Hurricanes.
According to the Blues, Thomas has been dealing with an injury that he recently aggravated, presumably in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The right-shot center didn't participate in Tuesday's morning skate and is considered day-to-day at this time. Brayden Schenn will skate between Otto Stenberg and Jimmy Snuggerud on the top line Tuesday, and Dalibor Dvorsky is set to center the second line as a result of Thomas' absence.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Thomas (lower body) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Carolina, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Thomas didn't participate in Monday's practice. He has compiled 11 goals, 33 points, 60 shots on net and 23 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season. If Thomas is unavailable to play against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Brayden Schenn will probably center the Blues' top line.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Grabs shorthanded goal
Rotowire
Thomas scored a shorthanded goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Canadiens.
Following his takeaway near center ice, Thomas dangled past multiple defenders to create an opening for an Alexei Toropchenko shot, and Thomas finished off the play by scoring on the ensuing rebound. The 26-year-old Thomas now has 10 goals, 30 points, 57 shots on net and 23 blocks through 39 outings this season. Saturday's shorthanded goal helped him become the first skater for the Blues to reach 30 points this season. Despite going scoreless in the previous three games, Thomas still has 13 points over the last 14 contests. It would take a monstrous effort for the Blues' top-line center to reach the 80-point mark for the third consecutive season, as he has produced at a 63-point pace when available in addition to missing four games this season.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Distributes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Thomas recorded two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
Thomas dished out both of the primary helpers on Pavel Buchnevich's consecutive goals in Saturday's contest. Overall, Thomas is up to 20 assists, 29 points, 54 shots on net and 21 blocks through 35 games this season. Despite St. Louis' struggles offensively, the 26-year-old center has produced a point-per-game rate over his last 16 outings, which has him eight points clear of any other skater on the team. Fresh off consecutive seasons with 60 assists, Thomas has the ability to heat up in the second half of the season, making him a strong fantasy option in nearly all formats with high upside.
