ST. LOUIS (AP) — Former St. Louis Blues defenseman Bob Plager has been killed in a car crash in St. Louis.
Police said Plager was alone in his vehicle when it collided with a vehicle carrying two women on Interstate 64 in St. Louis Wednesday afternoon.
Plager was an original Blue, moving over from the New York Rangers when the NHL expanded in 1967-68. He played 11 seasons for St. Louis and teamed for a stretch with brothers Barclay and Bill.
He later worked for the organization in a variety of roles and coached the team for 11 games in 1992.
Plager was 78.
