The 2002–03 St. Louis Blues season was the 36th for the franchise in St. Louis, Missouri. The Blues finished the regular-season with a record of 41 wins, 24 losses, 11 overtime losses and 6 ties, good for 99 points, and the team qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the 24th consecutive season, only to lose in the Western Conference Quarterfinals to the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.
Captain Chris Pronger missed most of the regular season with an injured wrist. Al MacInnis filled in as interim captain and continued to serve in the role through the end of the season even after Pronger returned to the lineup.[1]
