Detroit is looking to build on a 2-1 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Saturday. Marco Kasper and Lucas Raymond each lit the lamp, while goalie Cam Talbot made 20 saves to help the Red Wings keep pace in the tight race for the Eastern Conference’s second Wild-Card spot.

The red-hot St. Louis Blues shoot for their first 10-game winning streak since the 2019 Stanley Cup season when the Detroit Red Wings come to town Tuesday.

The St. Louis Blues host the Detroit Red Wings as winners of nine straight games. St. Louis is 40-28-7 overall and 20-14-3 at home. The Blues have conceded 211 goals while scoring 225 for a +14 scoring differential.

April is the final month of the regular season, which comes as a relief to many. The Detroit Red Wings are hoping for a better month than March, when they scored only eight points in 14 games. Detroit is currently three points back of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Detroit Red Wings were at the nadir of season on Dec. 23, and now are trying to resurrect playoff hopes in second meeting with Blues.

The Detroit Red Wings sit outside the second Wild Card position in the Eastern conference, currently occupied by the Montreal Canadiens. Even if they don’t admit it, they feel pressure to secure their first playoff berth since the 2015-16 season.
