St. Louis Blues star Robert Thomas has been placed on the injured reserve with a fractured ankle, the team announced Wednesday.
The Aurora, Ont., native will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
During Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, the 25-year-old blocked a shot by Jets defenceman Neal Pionk early in the third period. He slowly made his way to the bench but did not return.
Last season, Thomas was the Blues’ top scorer and All-Star. This campaign, he has suited up in seven games, posting one goal and six assists. Considering his stats and contributions, losing the forward is a big blow to the Blues and Thomas’s chances at making Team Canada for the 4 Nations Face Off.
Thomas was originally drafted by the Blues in the first round, 20th overall, during the 2017 NHL Draft.
So far in his career, Thomas has totalled 321 points (87 goals, 234 assists) in 403 regular-season games.
