The St. Louis Blues have made a significant change to their coaching staff by firing head coach Drew Bannister and hiring former Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery as his replacement. This change comes shortly after Bannister faced challenges this season, prompting the team to seek a new direction. Montgomery, who was recently let go by the Bruins, takes on a five-year contract with the Blues, marking his return to a head coaching role just days after his departure from Boston. With this move, the Blues aim to revitalize their performance and improve their standings in the NHL.
