St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas has been named to the NHL All-Star team, set to play in February in Toronto. Thomas has scored 15 goals and accumulated 39 points in 36 games, demonstrating notable defensive play against opposing teams' top lines. His performance has been a significant factor in the Blues' current 19-17-1 record. In their recent 2-1 win over the Canucks, Thomas contributed a goal and an assist, while teammate Parayko also scored a goal and goaltender Jordan Binnington made 25 saves. Thomas, an Ontario native, expressed enthusiasm about his first All-Star selection, particularly because of the game's location in Toronto, where his family and friends, including his 'super-stoked' grandmother, will be able to cheer for him.
