Trailing by a point for the last playoff spot, the St. Louis Blues look for their first win in six meetings this season against the Detroit Red Wings tonight. (Wikimedia Images)

After outscoring opponents 17-9 during its five-game win streak, the Blues managed 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss in Chicago.

The scoring struggles spoiled another solid effort from goalie Chris Mason, who hasn't allowed more than three goals in 10 straight starts.

Mason is 0-3-2 with a 3.31 GAA in seven career appearances at Joe Louis Arena and has lost five straight to Detroit with a 4.21 GAA in that time.

He'll face a Red Wings team looking to avoid its longest home losing streak of the season and seeking its first season sweep of the Blues since 2002-03. Ty Conklin, who is expected to start, is 3-0-0 with a 2.10 GAA in four lifetime appearances against the Blues. Bet on the big game with Bodog's NHL hockey betting today.
