Steen picked up a trio of assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
He hit an impressive milestone with the second helper -- it was his 600th NHL point. And with that, Steen and his dad Thomas became just the fourth father-son duo to each have at least 600 points in the NHL. The others? Gordie and Mark Howe, Bobby and Brett Hull, and Peter and Paul Stastny. That's heady company. But it doesn't make Steen valuable in fantasy. The night snapped an 11-game point drought.

Steen (illness) skated for 15:15 and racked up three hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
With 44 hits and 43 blocks this year, Steen is certainly not known for using his body to this extent. He also carried a minus-3 rating in the contest. It's safe to deploy the now-35-year-old as usual after he missed one game with the illness.

Steen (illness) is healthy and available against the Hurricanes on Friday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen will be back in the lineup after missing one game due to illness. The winger has been rolling of late, as he tallied five points in his previous seven outings. The Winnipeg native has logged just 46 games this season due to injury, which will almost certainly prevent him from hitting the 40-point mark for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 campaign.

Steen (illness) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Predators, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen's absence should be a short one, based on the reason behind it, but it forced the Blues to make an emergency recall of Samuel Blais ahead of Tuesday's tilt against the Predators. Though the veteran winger is on pace to fall well short of his usual offensive marks, he's displayed some offensive spark of late, notching five points in his last seven games. His next chance to get back at it arrives Friday against the Hurricanes.

Steen is ill ahead of Tuesday's game against the Predators, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
While this development doesn't explicitly render Steen unavailable for the upcoming contest, the Blues won't be taking any chances, hence their emergency call-up of Samuel Blais. If Steen does miss time, it has the potential to send a negative ripple effect about the lineup, as the vetearn stalwart is utilized in both special teams situations.

Steen scored a goal Saturday in a 2-1 shootout win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
It was Steen's first goal since Nov. 30 (27 games). His overall totals are low (19 points in 44 games), but he does have five points in his last six games. It's a modest run, but it might make Steen relevant in deeper formats.

Steen (personal) was back with the Blues following the birth of his child, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen figures to return into his spot on the second line along with retaking his role on the power play, where he is averaging 1:34 of ice time and recorded five of his 18 points this season. Injuries have limited the winger to just 46 games which will see him fail to hit the 40-point mark for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 campaign.

Steen won't join the team for Sunday's game versus the Wild after his wife gave birth Saturday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen will miss his second straight game, keeping Robby Fabbri as the Blues' second-line right wing. The Blues come back to St. Louis on Tuesday for a meeting with the Maple Leafs, and Steen is expected back in the lineup for that contest.

With the Blues scheduled to face the Avalanche, Steen will return home Saturday for the birth of his child, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Notes will go right back to work Sunday against the Wild to complete a back-to-back set of games, so there's a chance that Steen will be back at that point. In the meantime, look for Robby Fabbri to emerge from the press box to face Colorado.

Steen dished out an during 15:08 TOI in Thursday's win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
He fed a stretch pass to Jaden Schwartz, who found Edmundson in the slot for the game's opening score. Steen now has a three-game assist streak, but he doesn't have a goal since lighting the lamp on the road Nov. 30 versus the Avalanche. The Blues are headed to Colorado on Saturday, so Steen will look to repeat that effort and break the slump.
