The St. Louis Blues beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Enterprise Center, as Jimmy Snuggerud scored the winner in the third period. Detroit has lost four straight and five of its last six, and falls to 7-9-3. The win snapped a three-game skid for St. Louis, which also beat the Red Wings 5-4 in Detroit on Halloween.

How it happened

Andrew Copp gave Detroit the lead with 12.3 seconds left in the first period, deflecting a Ben Chiarot shot past Joel Hofer. The lead didn’t survive the start of the second. Pius Suter tied it 37 seconds into the period with his fifth goal of the season, and Justin Barron put the Blues ahead less than two minutes later.

Snuggerud, who finished with a goal and an assist, scored what held up as the game-winner in the third. Moritz Seider scored Detroit’s second goal, but the Red Wings could not find the equalizer.

In goal

John Gibson made 30 saves in his return to the starting net. He had been out since leaving the Nov. 3 game against Tampa Bay with a lower-body injury, and Daniil Tarasov started both games in between. Hofer also made 30 saves for St. Louis.

Lineup notes

Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton both returned from injuries. Kasper centered Michael Rasmussen and J.T. Compher, and Sheldon Dries played between Appleton and Keegan Kolesar. Emmitt Finnie skated with Alex DeBrincat and Viktor Arvidsson, and Copp centered Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and Lucas Raymond. Captain Dylan Larkin remains out of the lineup while he waits for a trade.

What’s next
