Jimmy Snuggerud had a goal and an assist, and his third-period score was the winner, as the St. Louis Blues edged out the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday night. This wasn’t just another win, folks, this victory finally broke a nasty three-game skid that had the Blues looking for answers.
Snuggerud’s Clutch Finish Gets St. Louis Rolling
When the Blues needed it most, Snuggerud delivered. His go-ahead goal, a deflection with just 4:02 left on the clock in the third period, sealed the deal. Dylan Holloway was right there with the assist on that clutch play. Beyond Snuggerud’s heroics, Pius Suter and Justin Barron also lit the lamp for St. Louis. This win was massive, especially considering the Blues had dropped five of their last seven games before Tuesday. You can bet the locker room breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Detroit’s Slide Continues, Gibson Returns
On the flip side, it was another tough night for the Detroit Red Wings. Moritz Seider and Andrew Copp found the back of the net, but it wasn’t enough to stop the bleeding. The Red Wings are now on a five-game losing streak and have lost for the fifth time in their last six outings. In net, Joel Hofer stood tall for the Blues, stopping 30 shots to secure the win. For Detroit, John Gibson was back between the pipes after suffering a lower-body injury against Tampa Bay on November 3. Gibson also had a busy night, making 30 saves in the loss.
The Blues will try to keep this momentum rolling when they head to Utah to face the Mammoth on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Red Wings desperately need to find a win, hitting the road to take on the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
