Otters’ back.
Steve Ott, a hard-nosed forward who played for the Blues for two-plus seasons, is the newest member of Mike Yeo’s staff of assistant coaches.
“Steve was a competitor on the ice as a player and I expect him to bring that energy in this role,” Yeo said in a team press release. “He was highly respected as a player and a person among his teammates, and I believe he will be a huge asset to our staff.”
Ott, 34, signed a three-year contract with St. Louis.
Ott joined the Blues in February 2014 in a trade with Buffalo and quickly became a fan favorite for his intense effort on the ice.
