At 7:07pm ET, my selection is on the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings really need this game. They'd finally gotten some momentum going only to lose 2 in a row to Montreal. They really don't want to go into the Christmas holiday on a 3-game losing streak. Coach Lalonde knows his job may not be safe and he'd be able to enjoy the holiday a lot more if his team can deliver a win today. A visit from the Blues is just what they need. St. Louis ranks 30th in the league at 2.46 goals per game. The Wings won both meetings last season and crushed the Blues 6-1 in the game at Little Caesars Arena. Play on Detroit.
