Preview: Detroit Red Wings face biggest, toughest game of the season vs St. Louis Blues Tuesday

It was a massive 2 points in the standings for the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night, picking up a 2-1 win over the divisional foe Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena.

They now head out onto the road for a matchup against their former Western Conference and Central Divisional foe St. Louis Blues, who are on a march themselves toward the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Red Wings come into the contest trailing the Montreal Canadiens by 3 points for the 2nd and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Blues have caught fire with 9 consecutive wins.

Red Wings rookie forward Marco Kasper has made a name for himself since being re-called from the Grand Rapids Griffins. He leads all NHL rookies in goals since January 1 and also has 3 points (2G, 1A) in his last 4 games which also included Detroit's 1st goal against the Bruins on Saturday.

The Red Wings line combinations can be expected to be similar to what they were in Saturday's win over the Bruins.

DeBrincat-Larkin-Kane
Rasmussen-Kasper-Raymond
