Through their first three road games, bad hockey plagued the Detroit Red Wings. Initial signs pointed to that being the case on Tuesday night when the Wings allowed a goal from Brayden Schenn in the first 47 seconds of their grudge match against the St. Louis Blues.
They outscored the Blues 5-1 the rest of the way and picked up their seventh victory of the year in what was ultimately a 5-2 win. That's a good omen to kick off a road trip. St. Louis has been absolutely demoralized lately, and the Wings outscored their old division rival 11-2 after allowing four unanswered goals in the first period and a half in Game 1 on Saturday.
