My player to watch for the St. Louis Blues against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday is center Robert Thomas.
Thomas has been on a scoring binge with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) the past 18 games, including a point-per-game player the past eight (two goals, six assists), and with the Blues (13-11-1) facing a struggling Blue Jackets squad (8-15-5) that played on Thursday on Long Island and wanting to get off the ice running tonight, Thomas could be the catalyst to fuel the fire for that top line with Pavel Buchnevich and leading goal scorer Jake Neighbours (10 goals).
Thomas has six points (one goal, five assists) in seven career games against the Blue Jackets.
