Steen dished out an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Steen is still searching for his first goal of the year, but he has three assists over the past four games and eight total this year. The 35-year-old winger is toiling on the third line, as he's discovered chemistry with Tyler Bozak and youngster Robert Thomas, but he's been excluded from the power play lately.

Steen posted an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Steen found Tyler Bozak for the Blues' only goal of the game. The 35-year-old winger will gladly put December behind him -- he had just the one assist in eight appearances this month. Steen has been limited to six helpers in 25 games this year after missing over a month with an ankle injury. He's not producing at a viable rate for most fantasy owners.

Steen (ankle) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Blackhawks, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen is back in the fold after missing the last 16 games, and he's expected to return to the bottom six while logging considerable penalty-kill time. The 25-year-old doesn't have much fantasy upside anymore with zero goals and five assists over 17 games this season.

Coach Craig Berube said Sunday that Steen (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's road game against Buffalo, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen was sidelined for Sunday's practice as he still manages an ankle issue. He was initially given a four-week recovery timeline when he suffered the injury Nov. 7, so he appears to be closing in on a return. Both he and Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) won't suit up, so Berube said the team will call up a forward ahead of Tuesday's game. The veteran forward has five assists through 17 games, and he'll likely fill in on the bottom six once he's ready.

Steen (ankle) won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Maple Leafs, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen will miss his 14th consecutive game, but it's a positive sign that he skated in a session with Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) ahead of Friday's practice. Coach Craig Berube relayed that Steen is getting closer, and he's nearing the end of his initial four-week recovery timeline. The veteran forward has five assists through 17 games, and he'll likely fill in on the bottom six once he's ready.

Steen remains out with an ankle injury but did resume skating activity Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen has been out of action since Nov. 6 and remains weeks away from a return, but the forward took a step in the right direction Saturday by taking the ice and resuming skating duties. Don't expect to see the 35-year-old suit up for a game until mid-December, though Steen is certainly closing in on a return to competitive action.

Steen suffered a high ankle sprain and will miss at least the next four weeks.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, the earliest fantasy owners can expect Steen back in the lineup is Dec. 7 versus Toronto. The winger has yet to score a goal in 17 games this season and managed only five assists and 22 shots over that stretch. Without Steen in the lineup, new acquisition Jacob De La Rose figures to find himself inserted into the lineup right away. Given the timeline for Steen's recovery, the Winnipeg native should be placed on injured reserve in short order.

Steen (lower body) will not return to Wednesday's game versus the Oilers after colliding awkwardly with Alex Chiasson in the second period.
EDGE Analysis
The collision was bad enough for the Blues to rule Steen out for the remainder of the game. The 35-year-old skated 8:34 in the contest. After the game, coach Craig Berube had no update on Steen's condition. If he is set to miss time, the newly-acquired Jacob De La Rose would likely take his spot in the lineup.

Steen notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Steen's fifth assist of the year came on a Tyler Bozak goal in the second period. The 35-year-old winger has added 21 blocked shots and 22 shots on goal in 16 games this year. He's no longer a significant scoring threat in a bottom-six role, but the defensively-responsible forward can chip in some offense here and there.

Steen (lower body) had two shots on goal and 16:19 of playing time in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Steen was injured in Sunday's game but back-to-back off days for the Blues helped him get right back into the lineup Wednesday. The 35-year-old is off to a slow start offensively, with no goals and four assists after 13 games. He had 10 goals and 27 points in 65 games last season.
