Hitchcock won the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year in the NHL after producing the franchise's first 100-point season since 2001 and its first playoff series win since 2002.

The Blues were 7-1-2 in the first 10 games under Hitchcock, who replaced Davis Payne in early November. Hitchcock is 11th on the NHL career list with 576 victories and 70 playoff wins.
