Red Wings, Blues meet amid three-game skids

The Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues meet in St. Louis as both look to snap three-game losing streaks, 10 days after the Blues rallied for a 5-4 win in Detroit. Detroit has lost four of its last five and is without suspended captain Dylan Larkin and unsigned defenseman Simon Edvinsson; Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton are set to return, with Kasper making his season debut. The Blues have also struggled since their last meeting, most recently losing 3-1 to Nashville. Both teams have had trouble scoring, while Detroit’s thin production and penalty kill are potential challenges against St. Louis at home.
