The Blues were 21-46-15 in Kitchen's only full campaign as head coach in 2005-06, finishing with an NHL-low 57 points and missing the playoffs for the first time since 1979. He was fired early in the 2006-07 season after leading the Blues to a 7-17-4 record and with attendance at the Scottrade Center (previously the Savvis Center) last in the NHL at the time of his release. He was replaced by current coach Andy Murray.

As a player, he spent eight seasons and played 474 games as a defenseman with the Colorado Rockies and the New Jersey Devils.
