In Play Magazine
The St. Louis Blues topped the Red Wings, for the third time this season, in a 1-0 victory in Detroit on Wednesday.
The only goal of the game came less than two minutes into the game. Detroit, which has been weak in the early minutes of games, gave up the goal to Brad Boyes who had a wide open net.
The Wings have been struggling with offense and that simply was the problem tonight. Every one of Detroit’s shots tonight either hit Conklin square in the chest or bounced off the glass and boards behind the net. Nicklas Lidstrom, who was held goalless for his 28 straight game, rang the post twice during the night. Both chances should have been in the net.
In Play! Man of the Game: Ty Conklin. Conklin, who faced his team former team for the first time in Detroit since signing with St. Louis, posted his second shutout of the year on a night where he made 42 saves. While most of the saves were not that impressive, several of the saves were great. While he did allow a goal that was called back, it was the most legitimately called back goal against Detroit this whole season.
