Thomas had already tied the game twice before sealing the deal — his first goal a top-shelf one-timer from the slot off a Snuggerud feed, his second a glove-side finish on the rush after a Nathan MacKinnon breakaway was stopped at the other end. The winner came with 2:50 left: Snuggerud toe-dragged a defender and slid the puck backdoor for Thomas to bury into the open net, completing his first career hat trick. March's NHL Rookie of the Month continued his strong form, assisting on all three goals as St. Louis earned a vital two points in their wild card push.
