• Chris Osgood won two Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings, the first one after he was lifted in favor of Mike Vernon for the rest of the playoffs. The Red Wings never voiced a lot of confidence in Osgood who is 3-0 since arriving in St. Louis. He'd love to derail them and help his teammates win the Central Division.
• The Blues could close to within three points of the Red Wings with their seventh-straight home victory. The Red Wings won all three meetings this season in Detroit. St. Louis again hosts the Red Wings on March 29. The Blues are only two points ahead of the Avalanche in the battle for the West's fourth seed.
• Blues center Pavol Demitra scored the winner in overtime Thursday against the Mighty Ducks. The 1999-00 Lady Byng Trophy winner has equaled his career high of 52 assists and needs five points to reach his career high of 89.

Federov is second on the Red Wings with 30 goals and second with 41 assists but leads overall with 71 points and is plus-12. Year after year, Fedorov provides prolific scoring in addition to tough defense. He's a former winner of the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward.

The ageless marvel of the NHL, MacInnis, 39, has 15 goals and 47 assists to rank second in team scoring with 62 points. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the 1989 Stanley Cup playoffs and the 1999 James Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman. Hardest slap shot in hockey.
