– GAME NOTES

With Ville Husso getting Tuesday off, it is likely he makes his first start against the Blues on Thursday night. After Joel Hofer stopped 93 of 97 shots – for a 2-0-1 record – in three NHL starts this week, the Blues may give the young goalie his fourth consecutive start.

Continuing on from Detroit, the Blues head out West for a back-to-back with Anaheim and Los Angeles to finish the road trip this weekend.

The Blues will rematch the Red Wings with a 31-33-6 record, worth 68 points and sixth in the Central Division.
