Robert Thomas Wraps Up Season With a Hat Trick

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas skated into the offseason after scoring a hat trick in Thursday's 5-3 road win over the Utah Mammoth. He had two goals in the second period to give St. Louis a 3-2 lead and then added an empty-net goal with less than a minute left in regulation. The 26-year-old celebrated his second career hat trick. Both of his three-goal games came this month. Unfortunately for Thomas, he can't carry this momentum into the playoffs, as the Blues couldn't overcome a horrible start to the season. But Thomas should be full of confidence entering next season, having secured his third consecutive campaign with a scoring pace of at least one point per game. Despite playing in only 64 games, Thomas finished as St. Louis' leader in all the main offensive categories, notching 64 points with 25 goals and 39 assists.

Jimmy Snuggerud Records First Career Four-Point Game

St. Louis Blues right wing Jimmy Snuggerud was extraordinary in the team's final home game of the season on Tuesday, notching two goals and two assists in a 7-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 21-year-old recorded his first career four-point game and became only the third rookie in franchise history to have multiple goals and multiple assists in the same contest. Snuggerud has recently made up for a disappointing start to his rookie campaign. 26 of his 50 points have come since the start of March. This scoring surge includes seven multi-point performances, and Snuggerud has scored in three consecutive games. He can further build his reputation ahead of next season's fantasy drafts on Thursday against Utah. Snuggerud will enter the matchup with 21 goals and 29 assists in 69 appearances this season.

He posted his first career hat trick, with goals in each period. Jimmy Snuggerud had assists on all three tallies.

Since March, the 26-year-old has averaged 1.44 points per game. Thomas has been one of the hottest forwards around recently and will attempt to show his quality again on Tuesday night in a rematch against Colorado.

Pavel Buchnevich Ready to Play Sunday Night

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup on Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche. He is expected to be part of the fourth line after Buchnevich missed Friday's win over Anaheim for maintenance. Buchnevich usually plays on a scoring line and could move up in the lineup during the game. He is the Blues' second-highest scorer with 44 points (17 goals, 27 assists) in 74 games. Nathan Walker, Oskar Sundqvist, and Otto Stenberg will all head to the press box on Sunday, with Alexey Toropchenko and Jack Finley joining Buchnevich on the fourth line.

Robert Thomas Available Saturday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (upper body) will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He suffered an upper-body injury earlier this week, but luckily for the Blues, Thomas was out for only one game. The 2024 All-Star will reclaim his spot on the first line, forcing Dalibor Dvorsky to move down to the third. Thomas has been very impressive in March, recording five goals and eight assists in 11 games. If he can maintain his improved scoring rate, Thomas might still average a point per game for a third consecutive season. He currently sits on 46 points (16 goals, 30 assists) in 53 outings.

Robert Thomas Sits Out Thursday's Action

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (upper body) will miss Thursday's clash against the San Jose Sharks. St. Louis' No. 1 center was injured in Tuesday's loss to Washington and will be forced to sit out at least one game. His first chance to return will be on Saturday when the Blues host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Dalibor Dvorsky is expected to take over first-line center duties from Thomas, boosting his fantasy value. Recently, Dvorsky has struggled to make an impact offensively, finishing scoreless in 12 of his last 14 outings.

He made 21 saves, bringing him within one of tying Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders for the most shutouts in 2025-26. While Jordan Binnington was Team Canada's No. 1 at the Olympics, Hofer has outperformed him in St. Louis this season. The Winnipeg-born netminder holds an 18-11-5 record, a 2.57 goals-against average, and a .910 save percentage. He has gone 6-0-2 across his last eight starts.

This marks one of only two points he has earned in his last 18 outings.

Thomas appeared to have sustained a hand injury and took only one faceoff during Tuesday's game. The 26-year-old dished out two assists against the Islanders, recording his fourth multi-point game in five appearances since returning from a leg injury.

Robert Thomas Returns to Action With Multi-Point Effort

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's surprising 3-1 road win against the Minnesota Wild. Thomas was back from a 13-game absence after missing time due to a leg injury and a personal matter. He set up Logan Mailloux for the game-tying goal in the second period and finished the scoring with an empty-net goal in the third. Thomas has had a frustrating year on a bad team but has now registered multiple points in each of his last two outings. He will aim for his first three-game multi-point streak of the season on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. Thomas sits second in scoring on the Blues squad, with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 43 games.

Colton Parayko Doubtful for Sunday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko (back) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Wild, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. The 2026 Olympian exited the lineup for Saturday's game against New Jersey due to back spasms and appears poised to miss multiple games. Parayko leads the Blues with 141 blocks and has notched 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 58 contests. Matt Kessel replaced Parayko in the lineup on Saturday. Following Sunday's game, the Blues won't play again until Wednesday, giving Parayko extra time to recover.

Oskar Sundqvist • C • Blues

Oskar Sundqvist Available Saturday

St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist (upper body) is an option for Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. The Swedish forward underwent surgery during the Olympic break and wasn't available for Thursday's matchup with the Seattle Kraken. In 43 outings this season, Sundqvist has registered 14 points (four goals, 10 assists), 34 shots, and 53 hits. He is likely to fill a bottom-six role if he returns on Saturday, limiting Sundqvist's fantasy appeal.

Jordan Binnington on Non-Roster List

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington is not on the roster for Thursday night's game versus the Kraken. Goaltender Joel Hofer will get the start in his place, and Georgi Romanov will serve as the backup. Binnington is expected to rejoin St. Louis for Saturday's game against New Jersey. For the season, Binnington has a 3.65 goals-against average and an .864 save percentage.

Dylan Holloway • LW • Blues

Dylan Holloway Rejoins Blues Lineup Thursday

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) will return to work on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. He has missed 23 of the last 24 games due to a right high ankle sprain. The injury has been one of many challenges for Holloway during a testing campaign. A year after a 63-point season, he has contributed just eight goals and nine assists in 34 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect an improvement from Holloway, as the Blues are bound to finish among the worst teams in the league. For Thursday's game, Holloway is expected to be paired with Pius Suter and Jonatan Berggren on the third line. He will also have a spot on the second power-play unit.

Robert Thomas Takes Leave of Absence

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (leg, personal) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. He has been granted a leave of absence to attend to a personal matter. Thomas is also currently on Injured Reserve after undergoing a minor leg procedure in late January. He is expected to return to the team on Friday, but it's unclear whether he will be an option for this weekend's back-to-back set. Thomas is among St. Louis' top scorers, with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 42 games. Brayden Schenn (illness) may also be out on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. As a result, Dalibor Dvorsky could handle the first-line center duties.

Jordan Binnington Records 26-Save Shutout Against Czechia

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington started the 2026 Olympics in outstanding form, recording a 26-save shutout in a 5-0 win over Czechia on Thursday. The 32-year-old became only the fourth Team Canada goaltender to post a shutout in an Olympic game featuring NHL players, joining Carey Price, Roberto Luongo, and Patrick Roy. Binnington has struggled with the Blues this season, going 8-17-6 in 30 starts with a 3.65 goals-against average and a .864 save percentage. However, he has a much stronger team in front of him at the Olympic tournament and has always performed well for his country. On Thursday, Binnington improved to 13-4 with Team Canada, recording his third career shutout on the international stage.
