Defenseman Cam Fowler’s goal with 1:33 left in overtime gave the host St. Louis Blues a 2-1 come-from-behind win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Jordan Kyrou got the other goal and Fowler added an assist for the Blues (41-28-7, 89 points), who won their 10th straight. Jordan Binnington stopped 20 shots. Binnington was the NHL’s Third Star for the month of March after going 8-2-0 with a 2.21 goals-against average and .910 save percentage.

J.T. Compher scored for the Red Wings (34-33-7, 75 points), who are struggling to stay alive for a Western Conference wild-card playoff spot. Cam Talbot made 35 saves.

Fowler got the winner on a backhand shot as he was in alone on Talbot.

Kyrou tied the game 1-1 and sent it into overtime with 29 seconds left and Binnington pulled for the extra attacker. Kyrou scored on a one-time shot from the bottom of the left circle. It was his team-leading 32nd goal.

Compher gave Detroit a 1-0 lead 5:13 into the third period when he put a cross-crease pass from Jonatan Berggren into an open net. It was Compher’s second goal in four games, in which he also has four points.

With Binnington caught behind the net, Blues defenseman Nick Leddy – a former Red Wing – blocked a shot attempt by Marco Kasper in the crease in the first minute of the second period.

Detroit had five shots during a power play that began with 5:55 left in the middle period, after only three in the entire first period.

Talbot made an outstanding save on Pavel Buchnevich from the bottom of the right circle on a 3-on-1 rush 1:20 into the game.

Kasper hit the goal post early in the game.

Top prospect Jimmy Snuggerud made his NHL debut for St. Louis. The Blues recently signed Snuggerud to a three-year contract after the University of Minnesota’s NCAA season ended. St. Louis took him with the 23rd pick of the 2023 NHL Draft. Snuggerud’s father, Dave Snuggerud, played four seasons in the NHL.
