Robert Thomas produced his first multi-point game on Sunday when he scored two power-play goals in a 4-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks. It was just the second time in 12 games the St. Louis Blues top-line center had produced a multi-point game after he had three in the previous six games. Blues player to watch vs. Senators: Robert Thomas With the Blues (36-30-3) going against the Ottawa Senators (28-35-4) on Thursday, this looks like a prime spot for someone off the Blues' top line to have a big night if they are to produce offense, and Thomas feels like that guy against a team that is 28th in the league allowing 3.57 goals-per-game. Thomas had a goal and an assist when the Blues doubled up the Senators, 4-2, on Dec. 14 in interim coach Drew Bannister's debut behind the St. Louis bench. He also has six points (three goals, three assists) in six games against the Senators, and since putting Brayden Schenn and most recently, Jake Neighbours, on that top line, there seems to be some nice synergy there. With 13 games left in the regular season, it's time for the Blues' top skaters to keep taking over games, and Thomas is ripe for one of those games where, if he doesn't score, he's setting up multiple goals. He'll also want to have a good showing against one of his best pals, Senators captain Brady Tkachuk. Image [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjAyODg3NDg3MjY4MzMyNjEy/img_6512.jpg]
