Robert Thomas posted one goal and two assists on two shots in 18:40 of ice time as the Blues defeated the Bruins 4-1 on Thursday, October 29. He finished plus-1 with one blocked shot.

The line reflects the production level already baked into Thomas's fantasy value. He averages 1.12 points per game in his recent sample, making this three-point effort typical rather than surprising. His underlying play grades 35 out of 100 among forwards for shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.

Robert Thomas

Thomas averages 0.36 goals and 0.77 assists per game in his recent sample, working primarily on the Blues' first power-play unit (2:20 per game, second among all St. Louis skaters). His 1.8 shots per game and modest peripheral production (0.1 hits, 0.6 blocks per game) limit his floor in multi-category leagues. He plays 19:05 a night at even strength.

The Blues have three games remaining this week (Thursday, Saturday, Tuesday), which offers volume. However, Thomas's 35 process score signals that his scoring pace may not hold. His shot generation and ice time allocation sit well below the league average for top-six centers, making him a hold in standard formats rather than a waiver priority.

What to do

• Hold Thomas in all formats where he is rostered, as this performance aligns with his recent averages.

• Do not chase Thomas on the waiver wire based on this game alone, given his below-average underlying play.

• Keep Thomas in your lineup for the Blues' three remaining games this week.
