Key Game for the Red Wings

The Red Wings need to start stacking wins, and that can start with a win here. On Saturday, the Red Wings faced off against the Boston Bruins, and they were able to secure a 2-1 victory. Cam Talbot was in goal, and he saved 20 of the 21 shots that he faced. Marco Kasper and Lucas Raymond scored a goal to help pace the offense to a win. In this game, they really need to find a way to get the offense going earlier, so they don’t have to lean so much on solid goaltending to find success. 

The Red Wings are averaging only 2.84 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.18 goals per game. The offense and defense are both ranked 22nd in the league. Lucas Raymond has scored 26 goals and added 47 assists. Alex Lyon is expected to start in goal, and he sits with a 12-9-1 record and is giving up 2.84 goals per game. 

What a run for the Blues

It’s been quiet the run for the Blues, and they have won nine straight games. Over the last two games, the Blues have scored only five goals total, but the defense has been dominant. In the last game, Jordan Binnington saved 28 of the 29 shots that he faced. Since coming back from the Nations League, Binnington has been impressive, and it’s been a big reason for the turnaround so far. 

The Blues are averaging 3.0 goals, while their defense is giving up 2.81 goals per game. The offense is ranked 14th in the league, while the defense is ranked 11th. Jordan Binnington is expected to get the start in goal again, and he sits with a 25-21-4 record overall. The Blues have won each of his last five starts. The Blues will take on the Penguins, Avs, and Jets after this game.

Detroit Red Wings vs St. Louis Blues Prediction 

The Blues are pretty big favorites, but I am just not interested in betting against them. Even when they haven’t been scoring during the winning streak, the defense and goaltending have been impressive, and there is no reason to believe it’s going to be any different here. The Red Wings’ offense has also been a major issue all season, averaging only 2.844 goals per game. The Red Wings are going to need only two or three goals to get the job done. Back the Blues on the money line.
