The St. Louis Blues removed the interim tag from coach Drew Bannister and signed him to a two-year contract on Tuesday.
Bannister, 50, took over behind the bench on Dec. 14 after Craig Berube was fired following a 13-14-1 start. The Blues went 30-19-5 under Bannister's leadership but missed the playoffs for a second straight season.
