The St. Louis Blues plan to conduct a "detailed search" for their next head coach after firing Mike Yeo on Monday, general manager Doug Armstrong said at a press conference Tuesday, according to NHL.com's Lou Korac.
Craig Berube, who was on Yeo's staff as an associate, was named interim head coach. But Armstrong said he won't commit to Berube as the full-time bench boss.
Armstrong said it's possible a permanent replacement is hired midseason, Korac adds.
Berube coached the Philadelphia Flyers for two seasons from 2013-2015, making one playoff appearance.
Hall of Fame defenseman and Stanley Cup-winning coach Larry Robinson will join Berube's staff for around one month, Armstrong said, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Robinson won a ring as the head coach of the New Jersey Devils in 2000. He last served as an associate coach with the San Jose Sharks in 2014-15.
