Steen shed the non-contact jersey for Monday's practice session, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steen continues to progress towards being ready to go for Opening Night, but given the expectations on the team, they are not in a hurry to rush him back for meaningless games. With the injury to Jaden Schwartz (elbow) the pressure will be on Steen to help pick up the slack alongside Paul Stastny and Vladimir Tarasenko on the Blues top line. As long as he is healthy, the 32-year-old could log a fourth consecutive 50+ point campaign.
