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.
