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] Montgomery had previously served as an assistant coach with the Blues from 2020–2022, under former head coach Craig Berube.

On April 15, 2025, the Blues clinched a playoff berth for the first time since the 2021–22 season following a 6–1 win over the Utah Hockey Club. They faced the Presidents' Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets in the first round of the playoffs. The Blues blew a 2 goal lead in the final 2 minutes of regulation in Game 7, and lost in the second overtime period, eliminating them from the playoffs. The Blues' win probability stood at 99% with 2 minutes to play.
