Taking leave of absence Thomas (leg) is taking a leave of absence from the team due to a personal matter and is expected to return Friday.

Impact Thomas will miss Thursday's game against Seattle. He'll be back with the team ahead of Saturday's match versus the Devils, but it's not clear if he'll be an option for that game. Thomas hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to a leg injury, and he is on IR.

Impact 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.

Might return before Olympics 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.

Impact 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 first power-play unit when he's healthy.

St. Louis Blues leading scorer Robert Thomas is out 2 weeks with a lower-body injury

The St. Louis Blues have put leading scorer Robert Thomas on injured reserve and said he'll be re-evaluated in two weeks

JANUARY 15 • Associated Press

Placed on IR Thomas (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday and will be out for at least two weeks.

Impact 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.

Not available for Friday Thomas (lower body) has been ruled out of Friday's clash in Tampa Bay, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Thomas was injured Saturday and Friday will mark his second straight game out of the lineup. The 26-year-old center has 11 goals and 22 assists over 42 games this season. He could return as early as Sunday in Edmonton.

Blues snap 3-game skid with 3-0 win over Hurricanes

Joel Hofer made 33 saves as the St. Louis Blues snapped a three-game losing streak by shutting out the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Tuesday night

JANUARY 14 • Associated Press

Not expected to play Tuesday Thomas (lower body) is slated to miss Tuesday's home contest against the Hurricanes.

Impact 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 bring losing streak into matchup with the Hurricanes

JANUARY 13 • Associated Press

Questionable for Tuesday Thomas (lower body) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Carolina, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact 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.

Goal, assist in loss Thomas scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Thomas was in on both of the Blues' goals for his first multi-point effort since Dec. 27. This was also just his second goal in his last nine outings. The playmaking center is up to 11 goals, 33 points (nine on the power play), 60 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 42 appearances.
