St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen is ahead of schedule in his recovery from shoulder surgery and could play in the season opener, general manager Doug Armstrong told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday.
"He looks like he's in great shape, he's ahead of schedule, and we're hoping that he's ready for game one," Armstrong said. "If not game one, very early in the season, but all things are very positive."
