St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas is sidelined for at least six weeks due to a broken right ankle, confirmed by the team. This injury occurred during a game against Winnipeg, prompting the Blues to place him on injured reserve.
General manager Doug Armstrong indicated that Thomas will be re-evaluated in six weeks. He joins a list of injured players, including defenseman Nick Leddy, who is also on IR.
The Blues have started the season with a 4-3-0 record, missing key players like Torey Krug, who is out for the entire season following ankle surgery. Oskar Sundqvist has been activated to fill in for Thomas, while Jake Neighbours recently signed a two-year extension with the team.
