The match at Enterprise Center saw an aggressive start from both teams, but it was the Detroit Red Wings who set an early pace with two goals in the first period. Their offensive effort continued throughout, adding one more goal in the second period and closing with three additional goals in the third. The team's shooting accuracy was notable as they converted six of their thirty-two shots into goals, boasting a shooting percentage of nineteen percent.


Detroit's powerplay unit capitalized on one of their five opportunities, contributing significantly to their total scoreline. Meanwhile, even strength play yielded four goals for them from eighteen shots, demonstrating effective play across all lines and scenarios.


On defense, goaltending for Detroit played a crucial role as well; thirty-three saves were made against thirty-seven shots by St. Louis Blues' attackers—a save percentage close to eighty-nine percent—securing a win for Detroit despite conceding four goals.


The St. Louis Blues put up a resilient fight with fifteen hits over sixty minutes but fell short despite scoring four times from thirty-seven attempts on goal—a ten percent conversion rate that wasn't enough against Detroit's offense and solid goaltending performance.
