St. Louis at Detroit

St. Louis will seek payback for a 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday when Joel Hofer had 28 saves through overtime for the Blues, who scored two goals in the first period and that was it for the game. Magnus Hellberg was in net for Detroit and had 20 saves, but that was his first win in five appearances and he is confirmed for tonight's game with a 5-7-1 record and 2.87 goals-against average and Hofer will be between the pipes for the Blues. Detroit has lost 10 of 13 and the Red Wings have lost six straight playing with one day of rest and they are 15-42 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 spot. St. Louis has bounced back to win four of five in the second of a home-and-home situation. The Blues are 35-12-6 OVER their past 53 road games and 40-14-5 OVER versus Eastern Conference teams. The Red Wings are 4-0-1 OVER their past five home games. Take the Blues and the OVER.
