Blues' Alexander Steen: Will suit up Thursday

Steen (upper body) will be back in the lineup Thursday against the Lightning.

Analysis:

Steen returns after missing six games with this ailment and figures to slot back into a top-six role right away. Prior to getting hurt, the center was stuck in a 11-game goalless streak, going minus-10 over that span. Despite his offensive struggles, the 32-year-old continued to log minutes on the power play, and he'll likely do so again Thursday.
