Again he played mainly in the AHL, in which he ran up in a total of 77 games for the Providence Bruins . On July 1, 2009, the center received a one-year contract valid for both the NHL and AHL with Boston's league rivals Ottawa Senators .

He started the 2010/11 season at Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk in the KHL , before moving to Kärpät Oulo in the SM-liiga in October 2010 . In January 2011 he signed a contract with EC Red Bull Salzburg in the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League until the end of the season . The Canadian won the Austrian championship with the Salzburg team in the 2010/11 season .

On July 11, 2011, St. Pierre signed a two-way contract for one year with the Columbus Blue Jackets . After spending the following playing year with the Rockford IceHogs in the American Hockey League, the Canadian signed a one-year contract with the Montréal Canadiens in July 2013 .

In November 2017 he was exchanged for James Wright by Admiral Vladivostok . He played at Admiral until March 2018, before his contract (and the contracts of five other players) was canceled by the KHL due to a lack of salary payments.
