St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (lower body) practiced on Friday and will be in the lineup for Saturday's playoff opener against the Winnipeg Jets. Thomas' status for the game was initially uncertain after he sustained a lower-body injury in Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Utah Hockey Club. Thomas will head into the playoffs in red-hot form, having capped off the regular season with a 12-game point streak. He tied his career high with 60 assists and registered 81 points in 70 games during the campaign. The 25-year-old will continue to play a major role in the Blues offense in the playoffs as a member of the first line and the top power-play unit.

During the historic run, Thomas has finished without any points only once. The scoring surge has given Thomas a chance to post a second consecutive 80-point campaign.

Despite missing 12 games with a broken ankle, Thomas is ranked third on the team with 36 points. He has amassed 12 goals and 24 assists in 40 appearances. Defenseman Colton Parayko (illness) is also questionable for Sunday and might miss a second consecutive game. Jake Neighbours could reclaim a top-six spot if Thomas is unable to play on Sunday, while Philip Broberg should stay on the first defensive pairing as Parayko's replacement.

This game extended Thomas' goal streak to two games, and he has tallied nine points over his previous eight contests.

St. Louis also announced that Thomas has been placed on Injured Reserve. Thomas skates as the first-line center and will be a massive miss for the Blues, who are off to a good 4-3-0 start to the year.
