The 2024–25 St. Louis Blues season is the 58th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established in 1967.[1]

Drew Bannister signed a two-year extension to become the new head coach after taking over from Craig Berube who was fired last season.[2]

On November 24, 2024, the Blues fired Bannister and signed former Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery, who was fired from the Bruins just five days prior, to a five-year contract the same day.[3]
