Blues' Alexander Steen: Continues to progress from hip injury

While he's yet to resume taking contact, Steen (shoulder) has looked good while skating and performing other drills, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Steen hasn't played an 80-plus game season since 2008-09, but it's hard to ignore his impact when healthy. The Manitoba native has averaged 0.82 regular-season points per game over the last two years and he should have the opportunity for increased shot totals with top-six talents David Backes (Boston) and Troy Brouwer (Calgary) finding new teams over the offseason.
