Two teams desperate to halt a three-game slide will face off Tuesday night when the Detroit Red Wings visit the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center. The Red Wings enter with a 7-8-3 record, while the Blues sit at 7-8-2, each looking to snap their respective skids.
Detroit is coming off a 4-0 shutout loss to the Colorado Avalanche, while St. Louis dropped a 3-1 decision to the Nashville Predators. Both clubs have struggled to find consistency, and Tuesday's matchup offers a chance for one to break free from their recent freefall.

Pregame Preview
Despite the three-game losing streak, the Red Wings should receive a significant boost from the return of several key players. Detroit has been outscored 10-3 during the skid, and its penalty kill has struggled all season. Head coach Todd McLellan must find solutions to those issues if the team hopes to get back in the win column.
The returns of Kasper and Appleton give McLellan far more flexibility throughout the forward lines. Gibson's return in net comes after he suffered a lower-body injury against Tampa Bay on November 3. Backup Daniil Tarasov performed well in Gibson's absence, but the veteran will reclaim the crease in an effort to stabilize the lineup.
Detroit's offense must step up, particularly its stars: Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, and Viktor Arvidsson.
St. Louis enters with nearly identical frustrations but holds the confidence of having already beaten Detroit once this season—a narrow 5-4 victory on Halloween. The Red Wings' defense must be prepared for a strong challenge from the Blues, whose forwards Robert Thomas, Jimmy Snuggerud, and Dylan Holloway can be dangerous if given room to operate.
Like Detroit, St. Louis is getting healthier. Defenseman Logan Mailloux returns after missing the first 17 games with an injury. Former Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren will face his old team, while Justin Faulk will suit up for Detroit in his return to St. Louis.
For Detroit to earn a win in St. Louis, it will need to generate more offense and avoid special-teams mistakes. With several healthy players back in the fold, the Red Wings have an opportunity to capitalize and build momentum.
