MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- The collective holding of the breath could be felt when St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas was absent from practice on Wednesday.
Thomas, the Blues' top center and leading point producer for the second year in a row, did not skate on Wednesday after a day off Tuesday following two games against the Winnipeg Jets in the Western Conference First Round.
But coach Jim Montgomery declared Thomas was, "just maintenance day," and that, "he's a player tomorrow," referring to Game 3 on Thursday (8:30 p.m.; FDSNMW, ESPN2, SN, TVAS, CBC, ESPN 101.1-FM).
