St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (ankle) will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against Minnesota. He's back after missing 12 games with a fractured ankle. Thomas picked up six points (one goal, five assists) in seven outings before landing on the shelf. The 25-year-old will resume his duties as the first-line center and will also join the first power-play unit. Thomas was held without a point by the Wild on Oct. 15, but he has amassed 16 points against them throughout his career -- it's his third-highest points tally against any opposition. As a result of Thomas' return, Mathieu Joseph will sit as a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Robert Thomas To Miss At Least Six Weeks With Fractured Ankle
St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas has been ruled out for at least six weeks with a fractured ankle. The team plans to re-evaluate him in six weeks after Thomas was injured while blocking a shot in Tuesday's matchup against Winnipeg. 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. Brayden Schenn was moved to the first line in Wednesday's practice and should now play a more prominent role for the team until at least early December.
St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Winnipeg. Thomas had his second multi-point night of the campaign with a pair of assists but was hurt when he blocked a shot. The severity of the injury is currently unclear. The Blues will start a four-game road trip on Thursday in Toronto and will be desperate to have Thomas available. The 25-year-old went scoreless in three games prior to Tuesday's outing, but he still sits among St. Louis' top scorers with six points (one goal, five assists) in seven games. Brayden Schenn will likely move into the top six if Thomas needs time off to heal. This would significantly increase his fantasy value.

He ended a five-game point drought in the contest. It's not been a great postseason so far for Thomas, as he has recorded only five points and has come up empty in eight of the team's 11 games.
