Blues' Thomas, Dunn not available for Game 2 vs. Bruins

The St. Louis Blues are without forward Robert Thomas and defenseman Vince Dunn for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday, head coach Craig Berube confirmed.

Robby Fabbri entered the lineup to make his Stanley Cup Final debut in Thomas' place, according to the official roster report.

Thomas was on the receiving end of a heavy hit from Bruins defenseman Torey Krug in the third period of Game 1, but Berube insists the injury isn't connected to that collision.

The skilled forward has scored just once this postseason, but his strong two-way play on a line with Patrick Maroon and Tyler Bozak has been instrumental to the Blues' success. In 177:12 of ice time at five-on-five, that line has owned 55.74 percent of the high-danger scoring chances, according to Natural Stat Trick.

Dunn, meanwhile, took a puck to the face just two minutes into Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against the San Jose Sharks, and he hasn't played since.

The 22-year-old blue-liner has been a key piece for the Blues throughout the playoffs, averaging 15:40 of ice time while contributing seven points in 16 games.
