Alex Chiasson and Filip Zadina scored
regulation goals for the Red Wings, who earned just their third
victory in their last 13 games.
Robert Bortuzzo and Marco Scandella scored and Joel Hofer made
28 saves for the Blues (31-33-6, 68 points), who have lost three
of their last five games.
The Blues scored just 2:21 into the game for an early 1-0 lead.
Bortuzzo's shot from the top of the right circle was partially
blocked, but Bortuzzo followed up by stickhandling to the net
and reaching the puck around Hellberg on his backhand.
The Red Wings tied the game on a power play. David Perron slid a
cross-crease pass to Chiasson for a tap-in at the right post.
Scandella scored midway through the first period to put the
Blues up 2-1. He pounced on a rolling puck near the blue line
and snapped a shot through Jakub Vrana's screen, past Hellberg.
Zadina tied the game 2-2 with 2:13 left in the first period.
Dominik Kubulik's shot from the right circle caromed off a Blues
defender to Zadina in the left circle -- and he scored before
Hofer could slide over.
Red Wings forward Joe Veleno got a clean breakaway eight minutes
into the second period, but he lost control of his last move on
Hofer.
Raymond nearly put Detroit up in the final second of the period,
but his backhand stuff shot got through Hofer but didn't cross
the goal line.
Kubalik shot from the slot, off the rush, but Hofer made the
glove save with 6:15 left in regulation.
Blues defenseman Nick Leddy had the best scoring chance for
either team in overtime, but Hellberg made a glove save on his
breakaway.
