The St. Louis Blues have placed forward Alexander Steen on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, the club announced Sunday.
He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
The injury occurred in Saturday night’s win over the Arizona Coyotes. While chasing a puck in the Arizona zone, Steen was shoved into the boards by Coyotes defenceman Kevin Connauton.
Steen, who already had a goal and an assist in the game, got up on his own but had to leave the game. The 31-year-old has 17 goals and 30 assists in 61 games this season. His 47 points are second only to Vladimir Tarasenko for the team lead.
