iSt. Louis victory over the Detroit Red Wings 2-1. Detroit was 0 for 6 on the power play.

Alex Steen scored unassisted for the go-ahead goal in the second period, and the Blues held the Red Wings to single-digit shots in all three periods.

Jimmy Howard made 35 saves in his first loss against the Blues since a 4-3 shootout defeat on Feb. 9, 2010, and Drew Miller scored the game’s first goal. Detroit totaled 22 shots, but only four in the third.

Detroit’s goal was initially credited to Miller, then switched to Abdelkader between periods on the assumption the puck deflected off a defender’s skate. It was changed back to Miller after the game.
