Steen hasn't played since February 23rd because of a shoulder injury. Steen had a good start to the season going scoring four goals and 12 assists in 18 games before getting hurt. He will likely play on a line with David Backes and Chris Stewart.
The Blues have placed Alex Steen on injured reserve.
The hope was that Steen (shoulder) would be able to return right away but that is not the case. He will join Andy McDonald on IR after the two of them collided in practice. There is no timetable for Steen's return, but it doesn't appear as if he will be out long-term.
Alex Steen still not 100% wont play tonight #stlblues
There was some hope that Steen would play tonight after getting hurt in practice earlier in the week, but after the morning skate it was determined that he wasn't ready. He should be back in the Blues lineup soon. St. Louis' next game is tomorrow vs. the Oilers.
Alex Steen is day-to-day with an upper body injury.
Steen and Andy McDonald went down in practice yesterday. McDonald was placed on IR with a left knee injury but Steen is only day-to-day. Monitor his status before tomorrow's game.

Sounds like all three players have been cleared for contact which indicates they can return soon. Before getting hurt Steen scored 13 goals and 24 points in 36 games.
