St. Louis earned its third win in four games
despite falling behind 2-0 within the first 90 seconds.
Simon Edvinsson, Jake Walman and Alex Chiasson scored for
Detroit (31-31-9, 71 points), which took its fourth loss in five
games.
The Red Wings took a 1-0 lead just 38 seconds into the game on
the first career goal by Edvinsson, who was playing in his third
NHL game. Edvinsson's shot from the top of the left faceoff
circle deflected off of the body of a St. Louis player and into
the net.
Detroit made it 2-0 just 50 seconds later on a goal by Walman,
who took a pass from David Perron and fired a shot from the
middle of St. Louis zone past Hofer.
At 9:53 of the first, St. Louis cut the deficit to 2-1 when
Toropchenko fired a knuckler from the point that got past
Detroit goalie Magnus Hellberg.
St. Louis tied the game at 2-2 at 3:31 of the second on a goal
by Schenn, who camped himself in front of Hellberg and tipped in
a point shot from Jordan Kyrou.
The Blues took a 3-2 lead at 12:40 of the second when Blais
pounced on a rebound and poked the puck past Hellberg.
After that, Detroit pulled Hellberg, who had saved 10 of 13
shots, in favor of Alex Nedeljkovic.
St. Louis took a 4-2 lead at 14:08 of the second when Neighbours
scored on a breakaway.
Detroit pulled Nedeljkovic for an extra attacker with under
three minutes remaining, and cut the St. Louis margin to 4-3 on
a goal by Chiasson with 2:16 to play.
But Detroit couldn't get the equalizer.
The Red Wings outshot the Blues 28-22. Nedeljkovic stopped eight
of the nine shots he faced.
