Under Hitchcock, the Blues have also posted three consecutive 100-point seasons for the first time in franchise history. In addition, they've recorded 53 shutouts, which is a League-best in that time span and 10 more than second-place Los Angeles.
Hitchcock is also one of only six coaches to earn at least 200 wins with two different teams.
Arbour, who once served as a player and coach for the St. Louis Blues, coached in 1,607 games, making 16 appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and claiming four consecutive Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders from 1979-1983.
"This just means he's been around a LOOOOONG time," Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo joked. "That's pretty impressive to be able to reach that accomplishment. He's been around this League for a long time for a reason. It's great to see anytime someone can reach an accomplishment like that. It's impressive."
