The puck drops in the latest battle of a long-running war between the Blues and the Red Wings, when they lock horns Thursday at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings look to avenge an earlier 3-2 loss at the hands of the Blues.
The roadies are big underdogs here, laying 500 on the money line. The Red Wings sport a 26-10-3 record, while the Blues are 10-23-5. The total opened at 6.5.
Last time out, the Blues lost to the Predators 4-3 as 145 underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Detroit, on the other hand, are home to shake off a loss last time out against Minnesota. They were 210 favorites and ended up on the wrong end of a 4-2 score, in a game that went as a push against the closing total.
Expect the league's #2 offence to pot some goals and generate trouble for the Blues defence. Averaging 3.8 goals per game, the Red Wings can run up the score if they get on a roll.
Some trends to consider:
St. Louis is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games
St. Louis is 4-16-0 SU in its last 20 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
St. Louis is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 away
St. Louis is 10-4-1 OU in its last 15 games against Detroit
Detroit is 4-1-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 1 to 2 goals
Detroit is 6-2-0 OU in its last 8 games at home against St. Louis
Detroit is 10-4-1 OU in its last 15 games against St. Louis
Next up:
St. Louis at Colorado, Monday, January 9
Detroit at Nashville, Friday, January 6
