ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The Detroit Red Wings came up one goal short Tuesday night, losing 3-2 to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center as their slide stretched on.
Detroit grabbed the first lead late in the opening period. Andrew Copp won a faceoff, Lucas Raymond moved the puck, and Copp tipped a Ben Chiarot shot from the point past goalie Joel Hofer with 13 seconds left in the period.
St. Louis answered quickly after the break. Pius Suter scored 37 seconds into the second period, and Justin Barron added another goal at 2:34 to put the Blues in front 2-1.
The Red Wings thought they had tied it on a third-period power play, but the play was ruled no goal and stood after a video review. Jimmy Snuggerud then made it 3-1 with 4:02 left when a Dylan Holloway pass caromed in off his skate.
With Detroit goalie John Gibson pulled for an extra skater, defenseman Moritz Seider found the net at 18:46 for his first of the year, set up by Raymond, but the Red Wings could not find the equalizer.
Gibson, back after missing two games with a lower-body injury, stopped 30 shots. Hofer also made 30 saves, 19 of them in the third period. Raymond finished with two assists, and Copp had a goal and an assist. Detroit fell to 7-9-3 and next plays at the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
