Blues' Thomas says he's 'good to go'

So much for being a game-time decision.

Robert Thomas is "good to go" for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins, the St. Louis Blues forward told reporters, including NHL.com's Dan Rosen, following the team's morning skate Sunday.

Blues head coach Craig Berube later confirmed Thomas will play in the potential Cup-clinching contest Sunday night. Berube labeled Thomas a game-time call when asked about the forward's status Saturday.

St. Louis will be without forward Ivan Barbashev, who was suspended one game for a hit to the head of Marcus Johansson in Game 5.

Thomas hasn't played since Game 1 of the Cup Final due to an undisclosed injury.

He practiced on the Blues' third line Saturday in addition to taking part in Sunday's optional session.

Thomas said he always believed there was a chance he could play in this series. He and the team kept talking and Thomas reiterated he wanted to play. Yesterday was the test and he passed it. #stlblues
