Detroit is looking to build on a 2-1 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Saturday. Marco Kasper and Lucas Raymond each lit the lamp, while goalie Cam Talbot made 20 saves to help the Red Wings keep pace in the tight race for the Eastern Conference’s second Wild-Card spot.

The Detroit Red Wings are on the road on Tuesday night for an important game, and a measuring stick of sorts, as they take on a red-hot St. Louis Blues team. Time is running out on the Red Wings, as their quest to end their eight-year playoff drought is dwindling with just a couple of weeks left in the regular season.

April is the final month of the regular season, which comes as a relief to many. The Detroit Red Wings are hoping for a better month than March, when they scored only eight points in 14 games. Detroit is currently three points back of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Red Wings are a team that needs victories but it will not be easy earning one Tuesday in St. Louis. The Blues will be entering the game with a nine-game winning streak — the Wings are 4-5-0 over the same stretch — and playing better than anyone in the NHL.
