Sam Steel Injury: Dealing with undisclosed injury

Steel will be out of action against the Kraken on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Steel is mired in a 14-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 28 versus the Kings. During his slump, the 27-year-old forward chipped in just three assists to go with eight shots, nine hits and five blocked shots while averaging 12:54 of ice time. With Steel out of the lineup, Colin Blackwell will step back into the lineup in a fourth-line role.
