Blues' Robert Thomas Out Six Weeks with Fractured Ankle

The St. Louis forward was injured blocking a shot, joining teammates on injured reserve amid roster challenges.

Robert Thomas suffered a fractured ankle during a game against the Winnipeg Jets and will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
The injury occurred when Thomas blocked a shot in the third period, and he will miss at least 19 games, nearly a quarter of the season.
Thomas, a key forward for the Blues, had a strong start to the season with one goal and five assists in seven games.
His absence adds to the Blues' injury woes, with Nick Leddy and Oskar Sundqvist also on injured reserve and Torey Krug out for the season.
Brayden Schenn is expected to step up as the top-line center in Thomas's absence, as the team navigates these roster challenges.
