Detroit Red Wings vs St. Louis Blues Box Score on Dec 12, 2023

Lucas Raymond and Michael Rasmussen each had a goal and an assist as the visiting Detroit Red Wings rallied for a 6-4 win in St. Louis on Tuesday, a result that prompted the Blues to fire coach Craig Berube postgame.

Jake Walman, Jonatan Berggren, Moritz Seider and Robby Fabbri also scored and Joe Veleno had two assists for the Red Wings, who erased a 4-3 third-period deficit to snap their three-game winless streak.

Ville Husso made 33 saves to earn the victory.

Kevin Hayes scored twice for the Blues, who have lost four straight games. Brandon Saad and Marco Scandella also scored for St. Louis and Jordan Binnington made 26 saves.

Berube led St. Louis to the 2019 Stanley Cup championship as the interim head coach, and he compiled a 206-132-44 regular-season record in parts of five seasons on the job. The Blues tabbed Drew Bannister, the head coach of their Springfield (Mass.) AHL affiliate, to replace Berube on an interim basis.

The Blues struck first when Saad scored from the right faceoff dot 5:56 into the game.

Walman tied the game 1-1 by converting a long rebound from the left circle with 6:27 left in the first period.

Less than two minutes later, the Red Wings moved ahead 2-1. After Jeff Petry rang a shot off the post, Berggren scored off the weak-side rebound.

Hayes scored twice in a span of 31 seconds to put the Blues up 3-2 in the second period. For the first goal, he deflected Nick Leddy's shot from the left point past Husso.

Then Hayes intercepted Seider's clearing attempt and scored unassisted from the high slot.

The Red Wings tied the game 3-3 off the rush. Rasmussen threw a sharp-angle shot on goal off the left wing and Seider converted the rebound. But Scandella put the Blues on top 4-3 with a short-handed breakaway with 3:07 left in the second period. It was Scandella's first goal of the season.

Detroit tied the game on a power play 48 seconds into the third period, with Raymond scoring from the near slot.

Then Fabbri put the Red Wings up 5-4 by coming off the bench and driving to the front of the net to redirect Raymond's centering pass with 13:22 to play.

Rasmussen's short-handed empty-net goal iced the game with 1:39 left on the clock.
