Thomas left the Blues' season finale vs. Utah, but was on the ice for Friday's practice and will play in Game 1. Thomas finished the season on a tear, recording 25 points (4G / 21A) during a 12-game point streak.

The Kings are already locked into the second spot in the Pacific division, so Thomas will slot in along with Caleb Jones, Trevor Lewis, and Kyle Burroughs for Tuesday's game in Seattle. Mikey Anderson, Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, and Quinton Byfield will all get the night off.

The Blues can clinch a playoff berth with a regulation victory and will turn to Binnington between the pipes on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club. Binnington struggled in his most recent outing, allowing three goals on 17 shots (.824 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 31-year-old goalie has an uninspiring 2.95 GAA and .880 SV% in four April games (2-1-1). Still, St. Louis enters Tuesday's contest as -140 home favorites against a Utah team that played last night and defeated the Nashville Predators 7-4.
