St. Louis Blues vs. Detroit Red Wings preview

The red-hot St. Louis Blues ride into Tuesday's clash against Detroit on a nine-game winning streak, transforming their season through a remarkable defensive effort that's allowed just 13 goals during this run.

With Jordan Binnington finding his groove between the pipes and the defensive corps of Parayko, Faulk, and Broberg frustrating opponents, the Blues have firmly grabbed the Western Conference's final wild card spot.

Detroit's playoff hopes hang by a thread, sitting just a few points out in the East, but their offensive struggles—just seven goals in their last three games—don't bode well against St. Louis's stingy defense.

While the Red Wings' top trio of Larkin, Raymond, and DeBrincat have combined for 87 goals this season, the secondary scoring has vanished at the worst possible time.

Look for Blues forwards Kyrou and Thomas to create havoc in the offensive zone against a Detroit defensive unit that's struggled to prevent clean zone entries.

Enterprise Center should be electric for this cross-conference matchup, with St. Louis gunning for their tenth straight win and Detroit desperate to keep their playoff dreams alive.

Hard to imagine the Red Wings breaking through against a Blues team that's playing their best hockey of the season right when it matters most.

If there's a silver lining for Detroit fans, it might be that desperate teams sometimes find unexpected heroes—they'll need one Tuesday night in St. Louis.
