St. Louis Blues star Robert Thomas has been a massive reason for the team's immense success over the last several weeks. The 25-year-old has been on fire with the Central Division club, posting four goals and 16 assists in his last nine games alone.
Thomas' dominant stretch of play has been going on for quite a while, though, as he has an impressive 40 points in his last 27 contests. With this, he has been one of the NHL's best offensive players down the stretch, and the Blues have been benefitting from it significantly.
Thomas now has 21 goals, 55 assists, 76 points, and a plus-17 rating in 67 games for the Blues this campaign. It has easily been one of his best seasons, and he is now nearing a major milestone because of it.
Thomas needs only nine more points to record the 400th of his career. When noting that he is only 463 games into his NHL career right now, it is certainly impressive that he is already closing in on point No. 400.
Former Blues Star Struggling With New TeamDuring this past off-season, former St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. This was after he appeared in 76 games split between the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers last season, posting 23 goals and 55 points in 76 games. He also won his second career Stanley Cup with Florida that spring.
The Blues have three games remaining this season, so the clock is ticking for Thomas to get his 400th point before it's over. However, when looking at how excellent he has been playing, the possibility of him hitting 400 career points before the campaign is finished should not be ruled out. Let's see if he can do just that from here.
