game score,and commentary...

Red Wings 3,Blues 1... 30th win for Jimmy Howard,and record of 33-15-1,overall... seventeen straight wins at home,and seven straight wins,overall... after a sluggish first period,and a 1-0 Blues' lead,Red Wings clamped down,and started to play Red Wings' hockey,and the Red Wings are tops in NHL,with 67 points,and one game,in Montreal,left before All-Star Break,they will be tough to beat,so far... Pavel Datsyuk,and Johan Franzen scored goals,in second period,to erase the Blues' 1-0 lead,and then Niklas Kronwall scored,in third period,to put game on ice... the Blues tried to bully the Red Wings throughout the game,including a team scrum,in which many Blues' players tried to grab Howard's mask,and give him an old fashioned face wash,with a smelly glove,or two,with a second and a half,left in game...
