The St. Louis Blues fired coach Craig Berube on Tuesday night, parting ways with the coach who led the team to its only Stanley Cup title.

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong announced the move hours after a 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

The defeat was the season-worst fourth straight for the Blues, who are off to a 13-14-1 start to the season.

Drew Bannister, coach of the Springfield Thunderbirds of the American Hockey League, was named interim coach.

He will be behind the bench on Thursday night, when the Blues host the Ottawa Senators.

The 57-year-old Berube was in his sixth season with the Blues and had a 206-131-44 record. His win total ranks third in team history.

He guided the Blues to the Stanley Cup championship in 2019 after replacing Mike Yeo as coach on Nov. 20, 2018, as the interim coach and leading a remarkable turnaround.
