Steen returned to game action Wednesday night after rehabbing from shoulder surgery he underwent in June, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

After undergoing surgery, the prognosis was that Steen could return by November, but he undertook an aggressive rehab program, hoping to be ready for the World Cup, and got himself in shape to play before the regular season drops next week in Chicago. He acknowledged playing with some caution and the obvious timing issues after such a long time off the ice, but overall felt good and will have one more preseason game Saturday that will allow him to push it further.
