Saturday night against division rival, the Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas recorded his 300th point of his NHL career, moving him into 25th all-time in Blues franchise history, only six points behind former Blues forward Brendan Shanahan.

His 300th point came on a secondary assist to forward Jordan Kyrou's second-period power-play goal to open the scoring against the Wild.

Despite a minor slump this month, Thomas demonstrated his resilience, finishing the game with one assist, two shots on goal, and 23:33 of time on the ice. He had produced only one point in the past six games, a goal against the Boston Bruins, leading up to the game against Minnesota.

The milestone came in Thomas' 381st game of his NHL career. The 24-year-old is in the midst of a career year with 21 goals and 71 points in 66 games.

With 15 games remaining in the season, Thomas will be heavily relied upon to anchor the club's top line and first power play unit to push them into the postseason. The two points earned against the Wild moved them within one point of the Wild in the Western Conference Wild Card standings but still five points behind the Vegas Golden Knights and the second Wild Card spot.
