St. Louis - It took a shootout but the Red Wings finally earned a much-needed, and the way this game evolved, much-deserved, win.
Lucas Raymond scored the lone goal in a four-round shootout as the Red Wings defeated the St. Louis Blues, 3-2, ending a three-game losing streak.
Magnus Hellberg, after a rough first period, settled down, then stopped all four shots in the shootout to secure the Wings' victory.
The victory was only the third in the last 13 games for the Wings (3-9-1), who moved back above .500 (31-30-9).
"It's been a tough stretch lately as you all know," Hellberg said.
