St. Louis Blues History

As the NHL expanded with six new teams in 1967, the St. Louis Blues, along with the Minnesota North Stars, LA Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and California Seals, officially joined the league. Head coach Scotty Bowman immediately led the team to success, reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 1968, 1969, and 1970. The Blues won their first Stanley Cup in 2019. Outside of the Original Six teams, they have the most Stanley Cup playoff appearances.

Alexander Steen became general manager on 1 July 2026, succeeding Doug Armstrong, and the Blues go into 2026-27 without a captain after trading Brayden Schenn at the 2026 deadline.
