Steen (upper body) will travel with the club for its upcoming three-game road trip, but still may not play, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen has been sidelined for the Blues' previous six outings due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the winger tallied five points in eight appearances while averaging 17:18 of ice time. Once cleared to return, the Winnipeg native will likely bounce Oskar Sundqvist or Samuel Blais from the lineup.

Steen (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Jets, NHL.com's Louie Korac reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen still hasn't returned to practice with his teammates, so it's hardly surprising that he'll miss a sixth consecutive game Saturday. The veteran forward will be reevaluated prior to Wednesday's matchup with the Red Wings.

Steen (upper body) won't play in Friday's game versus the Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen didn't participate in Friday's practice so it's not surprising he's sitting out his fifth straight game. The 34-year-old winger's absence void on the third line will be replaced as Patrick Maroon (upper body) returns to the lineup.

Steen (upper body) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Predators, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday as he continues to battle an upper-body issue. Considering he hasn't been placed on injured reserve at this point, there's a good chance that the winger is truly on the day-to-day spectrum. His next opportunity to take the ice arrives Friday at home in a rematch with Nashville.

Steen (upper body) remains day-to-day and won't suit up against the Kings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Reading between the lines, the fact that the team didn't rule Steen out for the next four games -- as it did with Jaden Schwartz (upper body) and Carl Gunnarsson (upper body) -- would seem to bode well for the 34-year-old to be available sooner rather than later. Without additional wing depth, the team is set to move center Oskar Sundqvist to the right side on the fourth line versus Los Angeles.

Steen (upper body) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Sharks, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen will sit out his second straight game, allowing Sammy Blais to slot into the third line again. The veteran winger will look to shake his injury by Monday's home game versus the Kings.

Steen (upper body) won't play Friday against the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Steen's considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so he should be considered questionable at best for Saturday's game against the Sharks at this juncture. Another update on the veteran forward's status should surface following Saturday's morning skate.

Steen posted a goal and an assist in a 4-0 victory against the Sharks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a solid start for Steen, but despite the two-point night, he didn't do much to answer his doubters. Sure, he has five goals and 10 points in 14 games, and is one pace his most goals in a season since 2014-15. However, he only has 23 shots on net, so he's getting by with a 21.7 shooting percentage. He's never posted a shooting percentage above 15.6 percent, and his career norm is 10.3 percent, so that will undoubtably drop. Despite a nice Friday night, he only had one shot on net.

Steen is projected to be in the lineup Thursday against the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Steen had some neck tightness on Monday during practice, but fortunately the Blues were off for a few days so he had a chance to get healthy. The 34-year-old will hope to stay hot, as he has goals in back-to-back games.

Steen was held out of practice Monday as a result of tightness in his neck, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues aren't back in action until Thursday versus Vegas, so Steen should have time to get back to 100 percent. In the event the winger can't give it a go, the club recalled Robby Fabbri (groin) and Nikita Soshnikov (concussion) from their conditioning assignments in the minors and could be available Thursday to step in for Steen if necessary.
