Blues Sink Sharks in OT, Move Closer to West Wild-Card Spot
San Jose goalie Yaroslav Askarov starts to end five-game losing streak as Tyler Toffoli may return; Blues miss top scorer Robert Thomas with Joel Hofer in goal.
- Blues forward Robert Thomas missed practice Wednesday morning, one day after he was taken to the ice by Washington Capitals forward Pierre-Luc Dubois in the third period on Tuesday.
- Coach Jim Montgomery said Thomas's absence was for 'maintenance' and that he successfully cleared concussion protocol after the hit, confirming the forward is 'fine' despite the collision.
- Montgomery stated Thomas 'had his back to him and was occupying space that he's entitled to.' Dubois was assessed a match penalty for the hit during the game.
- Despite Thomas's injury scare, the Blues defeated the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Thursday with Dylan Holloway scoring the overtime winner, extending St. Louis to three consecutive victories.
- The Blues will host Toronto on Saturday night, seeking to extend their winning streak as Thomas remains day-to-day and the team continues its strong recent form.
