The St. Louis Blues will welcome back forward Alexander Steen on Wednesday, as the club announced he's been activated from injured reserve and will suit up against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Steen missed seven exhibition games and the first six contests of the regular season after sustaining a hand injury in St. Louis' first preseason game on Sept. 19.

In accordance with Steen's activation from injured reserve, the Blues placed forward Wade Megan on waivers.

Steen is coming off his fourth straight season of at least 15 goals and 50 points.
