Steen (lower body) will play in Wednesday's matchup against the Wild, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Initially deemed a game-time decision, Steen tested it out in warmups and is ready to rock. He's expected to work on the third line with Tyler Bozak and Robby Thomas. Steen has three helpers over the last six games.

Steen (lower body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Wild, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen was injured during this past Sunday's game against the Red Wings, but there's reasons to be optimistic that he'll suit up Wednesday. He skated Wednesday morning and took line rushes with the third unit, and coach Craig Berube already said Robby Fabbri would sit out, according to Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Without Fabbri, the Blues only have 12 healthy forwards, so unless they recalled a player, Steen is trending toward suiting up.

Steen recorded an assist and two shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Steen marked his third assist of the year on Brayden Schenn's empty-net goal. He was bumped up to the second line in this game since Sammy Blais (thumb) wasn't playing, and he could stick in the role going forward even if Blais returns since Vladimir Tarasenko (upper body) won't play in Saturday's game against the Bruins.

Steen recorded three shots on net and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Steen has been left off the power play to start the season, and it likely will remain that way as long as the Blues' stay healthy. However, he still finished with 16:39 TOI during Saturday's game despite a fourth-line role since he's a skilled penalty killer.

Steen generated an assist in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Steen scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Steen has a goal and two helpers in his last five games, accounting for three of his four points in 16 playoff games. He does have eight hits in that span, but altogether, Steen's numbers likely don't jump off the page for fantasy owners.

Steen registered an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
EDGE Analysis
It's only the third point in 15 games for Steen during this postseason run, as the 35-year-old has remained on the fourth line with an average ice time under 12 minutes. Steen also has only 12 shots on goal in the postseason, limiting his opportunity to contribute to the offense.

Steen converted on one of his two shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets in Game 3 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Steen has been relegated to fourth line duty with Ivan Barbashev and Zachary Sanford for the playoff run so far, with the goal being his first point in the series. He had only 27 points in 65 appearances this season, and without much of a physical edge to his game (just 55 hits in the regular season), he likely won't make much of an impact for fantasy owners.

Steen scored his ninth and 10th goals of the season, finishing with an assist as well, in a 7-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Steen had managed just one goal over his last 18 games before Thursday's two-goal effort. The three points move him up to 27 on the year, and unless Steen finds the scoresheet three times in Saturday's season finale, 2018-19 will see him fail to reach the 30-point mark for the first time since 2012-13.
