Detroit at St. Louis

Detroit has won five in a row but four were at home. The Red Wings have a losing road record and head to a talented St. Louis squad with a chip on its shoulder. Coach Ken Hitchcock criticized the St. Louis Blues' effort and focus in a 4-1 loss to Calgary on Tuesday night. The Red Wings are on a 6-18 run on the road, plus 16-36 away against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. St. Louis is dynamite defensively again, #10 in goals allowed, and third in penalty killing. The Blues are also 55-13 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Back St. Louis tonight.
