St. Louis Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock moved into a tie with the late Pat Quinn for the fifth most NHL coaching wins all-time on Tuesday, when the Blues defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-2.
Hitchcock has coached the Dallas Stars, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Blues, and his teams have always been known for playing tough, physical, effective defense.
The 63-year-old bench boss has won a Stanley Cup and was part of the Team Canada coaching staff that guided the Canadian men's ice hockey team to gold medals at the 2002, 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
