Blues to retire Chris Pronger’s number 44

February 10, 2020 By Bill Pollock

Chris Pronger’s No. 44 jersey will be raised to the rafters at Enterprise Center. The date for the jersey retirement has not yet been determined and will be announced after the release of the 2020-21 schedule.

Pronger will become the eighth player in franchise history to have his number retired by the Blues, joining MacInnis (No. 2), Bob Gassoff (No. 3), Bob Plager (No. 5), Barclay Plager (No. 8), Brian Sutter (No. 11), Brett Hull (No. 16) and Bernie Federko (No. 24).

Pronger was originally acquired by the Blues in a controversial trade that sent fan-favorite Brendan Shanahan to the Hartford Whalers on July 27, 1995. During his nine seasons with the Blues, Pronger played in 598 regular-season games and tallied 356 points (84 goals, 272 assists) and 931 penalty minutes. Pronger was a four-time All-Star as a Blue, finished in the Top 5 of the Norris Trophy voting five times and in 2017, was named one of the “100 Greatest Players” by the NHL.
