Blues vs Red Wings pre-game preview

The Saturday matchup between St. Louis and Detroit has a tight moneyline at STL -112 and DET -102, with Detroit +1.5 and a 5.5 total after opening at DET -1.5 and 5.5. The last meeting went Detroit’s way, 5-2 over St. Louis on October 28, 2025, and the Blues are 2-4 straight up and 0-2 against the spread in the last six head-to-head meetings.

Recent form is nearly even. St. Louis is 6-7 straight up and 6-7 ATS this season, and 5-5 straight up and 5-5 ATS over its last 10 after a 4-1 win over Boston on October 29. Detroit is 6-7 straight up and 6-7 ATS this season, and 5-5 straight up with a 4-6 ATS mark over its last 10 after a 4-1 win over Chicago on October 29.

The most useful defensive angle is special teams: St. Louis allows 1 power-play point per game (rank 4), while Detroit allows 3.08 (rank 29). Detroit also allows fewer goals (2.77, rank 6) and shots (25.15, rank 9) than St. Louis, though Detroit’s listed injuries include Kasper, Appleton, Johansson, Larkin and Edvinsson. Jimmy Snuggerud’s over 0.5 goals at +200 has cleared in 5 of his last 10.
