Not long after the season ended, some of the news began trickling in about some of the injuries the St. Louis Blues were dealing with. One was Scottie Upshall dealing with a broken thumb. After that it was learned that Alexander Steen had a shoulder injury.
Originally, the extent of the injury was not fully known. It was only said that it would likely require surgery. Little did we know the extent.
Steen apparently injured the shoulder way back on February 20 against the Arizona Coyotes. That means he’s been dealing with the pain and gutting out performances for three months before quietly having surgery in early June.
