Fantasy Analysis
His playing time has increased in each successive game since returning, going from 14 to 16 to 20 minutes Thursday. As a Mr. Do Everything for the Blues -- he plays both special teams, can be plugged into any line, and was one of the shooters in the shootout -- Alexander Steen is useful to fantasy teams. Right now he's skating on a third line with Jason Arnott and Jamie Langenbrunner, but coach Ken Hitchcock feels he's a top-six talent. (Updated 03/30/2012).

If you're in a Fantasy Hockey playoff pool, Evan Berofsky has some advice for you in his latest edition of Neutral Zone Wrap.
Steen is Mr. Everything for St. Louis. The alternate captain skated on both special teams, played the point on the power play, took faceoffs, skated on the wing and fit in anywhere coach Davis Payne needed him. Steen cobbled together all those roles to finish with a second consecutive 20-goal season, and will operate much the same way he did last season. He showed quite a bit of leadership, coming back from a high-ankle sprain in April to finish off the season for a team well out of playoff contention. Hell get plenty of ice time in 2011-12.
