Thomas has not played since December 4th due to a lower-body injury but will be back on the second line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Pavel Buchnevich on Wednesday. Thomas has been terrific this season, scoring two goals with 20 assists (22 points) in 24 games this season.

The Blues will be without David Perron, Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn on Tuesday, clearing the way for Toropchenko.

Thomas has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury. His move to IR opens up a roster spot to activate Tyler Bozak from the COVID-19 protocol list but he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy.

With Binnington going into the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Charlie Lindgren has been recalled from the AHL and is expected to back-up Ville Husso in Tampa.
