GameDay: @ St. Louis (14-6-1-1), 7:30 EST

Tonight is the third of six games between these two division rivals this season. The Blues won the first game 6-5 in October and the Wings won the last game 2-1 last Saturday. The Wings are coming off a 7-2 win over the Mighty Ducks while the Blues last game was a 4-1 win over the Kings. The Wings are two points ahead of St. Louis in the standings and a win tonight would do much to separate the two teams, though the Blues still have three games in hand. Dominik Hasek should finally start tonight, though I wish Lewis would just stick with Manny. Ray Whitney will not play. Al MacInnis and Barret Jackman are still out for the Blues. The Wings are on a season-high four-game winning streak and there's no reason for it to end tonight. The Wings should know how important this game is and will hopefully play that way. I expect a good game.
