The Detroit Red Wings need something positive to come their way, and they are hoping that starts on Tuesday evening when they take the ice against the St. Louis Blues.

Enterprise Center will be the location for the Red Wings who come in with a 7-8-3 record to take on the Blues who carry a 7-8-2 record.

Detroit is reeling from a 4-0 shutout defeat to the Colorado Avalanche while the Blues are coming off a 3-1 loss against the Nashville Predators.

Both of these organizations come into the Tuesday night matchup on a three-game losing streak. One will break that freefall tonight.

The Red Wings’ priorities should be to rediscover their offense and improve on special teams.

The return of several important players should have the Red Wings’ confidence soaring, despite being on a three-game losing streak. They have been outscored 10-3 during those three games. Detroit’s penalty kill has been struggling all season. Head coach Todd McLellan has to find a way to fix those performances if Detroit hopes to find their way back into the win column.

Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton are returning to the lineup, which should give McLellan a lot more options throughout the forward lineup. John Gibson will be back in the net after he suffered a lower-body injury in the game against Tampa Bay on November 3.

Daniil Tarasov put up good performances in Gibson’s absence, but the veteran will return in an effort to stabilize the lineup. The offense has to step up its game, and that includes the stars: Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, and Viktor Arvidsson.

With a nearly identical record, St. Louis has many of the same frustrations as they prepare to take the ice at home against the Red Wings.

One advantage the Blues have is the confidence that they have already defeated Detroit once this year. The victory came on Halloween when they narrowly beat the Red Wings 5-4.

Detroit’s defense better be ready for a strong matchup against St. Louis. Forwards Robert Thomas, Jimmy Snuggerud, and Dylan Holloway will be dangerous if the Red Wings let them get their momentum rolling.

As Detroit is welcoming players back, so is St. Louis. Logan Mailloux is back in the lineup after being sidelined for the first 17 games due to injury.

As far as familiar players go, former Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren will be facing Detroit wihle Justin Faulk will be going back into St. Louis but this time in a Red Wings sweater.

For a victory in St. Louis to occur, Detroit is going to have to generate more offense and avoid special-teams mistakes. With the addition of several healthy players, the Red Wings have an opportunity to capitalize and gain some momentum.
