ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues have hired Steve Ott to be an assistant coach on Mike Yeo's staff.
General manager Doug Armstrong announced the move Thursday, a little over a month after Ott's final game as a player with the Montreal Canadiens.
"I am very proud of my playing career and will devote the same work ethic to my coaching career," Ott said. "The Blues organization is very special to me and my family, and I'm excited to take the next step in my hockey career with this franchise.
