The St. Louis Blues announced front office changes and new hires, one day after formalizing the new roles of President of Hockey Operations Doug Armstrong and General Manager Alexander Steen.
The Blues promoted Keith Tkachuk to advisor to the president of hockey operations and Chris Thorburn to director of player development.
The team also made other front office promotions, including Alex Starovoytov to full-time scout and Madison Greenough to senior data engineer.
These changes come as the St. Louis Blues are currently 9th in the Western Conference with a 37-33 record, on a W4 streak, after winning 3-5 at Utah Mammoth on 2026-04-16.
The new hires and promotions will report to either Armstrong or Steen, with Tkachuk and Shane Malloy reporting directly to Armstrong.
The Blues also added Robert Bortuzzo as a pro scout and Dr. Ted Barile as team chiropractor, with Malloy bringing expertise in statistical principles and performance risk to predict player performance.
The team's front office changes aim to improve performance and decision-making, with a focus on data analysis and player development.
And with these new hires and promotions, the St. Louis Blues look to improve their standing in the Western Conference.
But the team still has work to do, with a tough schedule ahead and a need to maintain their current winning streak.
So the Blues will look to build on their recent success, with the help of their new front office staff.
The team's fans will be watching closely, as the St. Louis Blues try to make a push for the playoffs.
With the new hires and promotions in place, the Blues are looking to the future, and hoping to bring success back to the city of St. Louis.
The team's front office changes are a sign of their commitment to winning, and their desire to bring a championship to the city.
