The St. Louis Blues have fired head coach Drew Bannister, who had this season and next year remaining on his deal, and replaced him with Jim Montgomery. Montgomery, who was recently let go by the Boston Bruins just five days ago, has signed a five-year contract to become the 28th head coach in the franchise's history. This move comes after the Blues had a 9-12-1 start to the season, and Montgomery will lead the team in their second game under his coaching against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday.
