The Red Wings host the St. Louis Blues tonight in the second of Detroit's four important Central Division matchups this week.

The Blues will be without TJ Oshie while the Red Wings are missing Tomas Holmstrom, who is expected to miss at least a week with a groin injury suffered in last night's 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators. Joakim Andersson has been called up from the Grand Rapids Griffins to take Holmstrom's spot in the lineup. Tonight will be Andersson's NHL debut.

No other lineup changes are expected for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard will get the start in goal on back-to-back nights and Mike Commodore remains in the lineup on the blue line, with Jakub Kindl the healthy scratch.

Game time is 7:30. TV is FSD locally and Versus nationally.

And I'm stuck with VS.

[SYfanSD]

What did they call? Weak...

[SYfanSD]

sh*t

[YzerFan19]

Blues had nothing going until Daniels and Khan mentioned how bad it is. Just sayin'

[SYfanSD]

I have an idea... Let's see how Blues can tackle Datsyuk at one time... Its obvious what kind of night we are in for.

[SYfanSD]

Helm... One on four... Such a fast kid!

We're asleep.

Nothing going for the Wings tonight. Golf it into the zone, chase it down, get hit, cleared.

[SYfanSD]

Yep

[YzerFan19]

Good jump to start the period for Detroit.

[YzerFan19]

Howard looking absolutely Hasek-like.

[SYfanSD]

No kidding!

[YzerFan19]

As much as I want to complain because of how many times it's gone against Detroit, that was the right call on the second goal. Ref just happened to be in the right spot to see the puck free. Free puck means no whistle, no intent to blow, none of that.

A little bit like the real Captain from Lidstrom there. "If no one else is going to do this, I'll do it my damned self."

Tonight, the role of Tomas Holmstrom will be played by Pavel Datsyuk.

[YzerFan19]

Holy Christ. Important 56 seconds right there.

Props to whoever is running the music tonight and just played O Fortuna!

I feel like I should go away from my tv again in hopes that the Blues won't tie it again.

[YzerFan19]

Hell. f*cking. Yes.

That's all.

Problem is sometimes they play it with like 7 minutes left. Best saved for the final minute.
