The St. Louis Blues have decided to part ways with head coach Drew Bannister, making this change within the last week. This decision comes shortly after Jim Montgomery was released from his position with the Boston Bruins.

Montgomery’s arrival marks a significant shift for the Blues, who have struggled in their recent games. His previous experience in the NHL and strong coaching credentials are expected to bring a new perspective and strategy to the team.

Bannister had been with the Blues but faced challenges in leading the team to consistent performances. His departure indicates the management’s urgency to revitalize the squad and steer them back into competitive form.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Montgomery’s leadership will influence the team dynamics and overall performance as the season progresses. The franchise is hopeful that this coaching change will lead to improved results and a renewed commitment from the players as they aim for a successful campaign ahead.
