Steen failed to write his name on the scoresheet versus Ottawa on Saturday, his first game back from a six-game stretch on IR.

EDGE Analysis

Steen's lack of points certainly wasn't due to limited minutes, as he logged 16:27 of ice time, include 55 second on the power play. The winger recorded a mere two shots and a minus-1 rating. The Winnipeg native will look to shake off his 15-game goal drought against the Kings on Monday.

Steen (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve and will play Saturday versus the Senators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen has sat out the past six games and will return to the second line with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic. The veteran winger is on his lowest point-per-game pace (0.47) since the 2008-09 season, but his consistent top-six minutes lately will keep him fantasy relevant.

Steen (shoulder) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that a game-time decision tag usually results in the player in question playing, so Steen would seem to be a decent bet to suit up Saturday. Confirmation of his status may not surface until the team takes the ice for warmups, however.

Steen (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Steen will miss a sixth consecutive game Thursday, and the Blues have yet to reveal a potential timetable for his return to action. The veteran forward will need to return to practice with his teammates before rejoining the lineup, so until that happens, he can be considered out indefinitely.

Steen (shoulder) is still on injured reserve and isn't in the projected lineup for Tuesday's game against the Islanders, NHL.com's Brian Compton reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's safe to assume Steen would have been activated off IR by now if he was expected to return Tuesday, so the veteran forward will now have to wait for Thursday's matchup with the Bruins for his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup. His continued absence will test St. Louis' depth up front, but it likely won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only notched 15 points in 32 appearances this season.

Steen (shoulder) will not be in action against the Stars on Saturday, but Blues coach Craig Berube would not rule out the winger returning at some point on the four-game road trip, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen's continued absence hurts the Blues on special teams, as the veteran has averaged 1:55 of ice time on the power play and 2:12 with the team shorthanded. He'll be checked out further ahead of Monday's clash with the Capitals.

Steen (shoulder) will join the Blues on their upcoming road trip, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen was ruled out for a minimum of two weeks initially, which would keep him out for the remainder of the road trip. While that's not guaranteed to change, it seems unlikely he would be joining the club if he didn't have a chance to return at some point during the four-game swing.

Steen (shoulder) will require at least two weeks to recover, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen landed on injured reserve earlier in the day, so his extended timetable shouldn't come as a huge surprise. With five games ahead in the next eight days, the Blues will almost certainly recall reinforcements from the AHL following the news, but a corresponding move hasn't been made official yet.

Steen (shoulder) has surfaced on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Steen went directly from day-to-day status to IR, which clearly indicates that he isn't making much progress in his recovery. In the absence of the veteran, the Blues figure to continue relying on third-year winger Zachary Sanford, who has points in each of the last two games.

Steen (shoulder) isn't expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Stars, NHL.com's Lou Korac reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen's shoulder issue isn't expected to keep him sidelined long term, but it's safe to assume he'll miss at least one contest due to the injury. Another update on the veteran forward's status should surface prior to Thursday's matchup with Montreal.
