Robert Thomas Placed on IR, Out at Least Two Weeks with Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (lower body) has been placed on injured reserve Thursday and will be sidelined for at least two weeks. The 26-year-old, who has 11 goals and 22 assists in 42 games this season, was initially ruled out of Friday's game after being injured Saturday. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks and could miss all 10 games before the Olympic break. Brayden Schenn is expected to fill his first-line role during his absence.
