Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock reached an impressive milestone on Thursday night.

Alexander Steen had a goal and two assists to help Hitchcock move into sole possession of fourth place on the NHL wins list in the Blues' 6-3 victory over the Lightning.

"You can't get a lot of wins unless you've got good players," Hitchcock said.

Hitchcock's 693rd regular-season win broke a tie with Dick Irvin. The Blues coach only trails Joel Quenneville (739), Al Arbour (782) and Scotty Bowman (1,244).
