Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall scored 56 seconds apart in the final period to give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 comeback win over the St. Louis Blues. Datsyuk added an assist, and Nicklas Lidstrom also scored for the Red Wings, who won their 11th consecutive home game. Ian White had two assists, and Jimmy Howard stopped 29 shots.

Detroit lost the first two meetings with the Blues this season in St. Louis. Detroit forward Tomas Holmstrom will miss a week to 10 days because of a strained groin sustained Monday night during a 4-1 win at Nashville.
