St. Louis Blues vs New York Rangers: Preview

The St. Louis Blues made a coaching change as Jim Montgomery will coach his first game as the team fired Drew Bannister just 22 games into his first year as the Blues coach.

"Having Jim here now, I think he can coach a team that's evolving, and then coach a team that's evolved and ready to win," GM Doug Armstrong said, via NHL.com. "I think he has the ability to do that. It reminds me a little bit when we brought Ken [Hitchcock] in over a decade ago, an experienced coach that was coming into a team that was learning and working to grow.

"He was able to maximize that group, and I think that we continue to learn how to win and learn how to be competitive on a nightly basis, 'Monty' can push us all to be better and then when we get there, he can take us all to the promised land."

The Blues are led by Jordan Kyrou who has 18 points, Pavel Buchnevich has 13 points, Colton Parayko has 11 points and Jake Neighbours has 10 points.

The Rangers lost their final two games of the West Coast road trip to Edmonton and Calgary.

The Rangers are led by Artemi Panarin who has 26 points, Adam Fox has 17 points and Alexis Lafreniere has 16 points.
