Adam Fantilli (leg) won’t play Tuesday versus the Blues after being cut by a skate blade in Sunday’s 4-2 loss to Seattle. Fantiili will be evaluated further after the team returns home from St. Louis. The 19-year-old rookie has compiled 12 goals, 27 points, 115 shots on net and 46 hits over 49 games this season. With Fantilli unavailable, Jack Roslovic could play in Tuesday’s contest.
Robert Thomas dished out an assist, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 24:04 of ice time in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win versus the Kings. The 24-year-old center has proven he’s a true No. 1 center this season now that Ryan O’Reilly is in Nashville. Thomas has averaged 20:59 of ice time this season, recording 17 goals and 52 points — 10 on the power play — through 48 games. He’s currently riding a five-game point streak with one game to play before the All-Star Game, which he will participate in.
