Blues hang 10 on Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings allowed an opponent to reach double figures in goals for the first time in more than 17 years as the St. Louis Blues rolled to a 10-3 victory before a stunned sellout crowd at Joe Louis Arena.

Chris Porter had his first two goals of the season, Cam Janssen had his first of 2010-11, and a total of nine Blues scored as St. Louis became the first NHL team to reach 10 goals since Dallas accomplished the feat in a 10-2 win against the Rangers on Feb. 6, 2009. The Blues scored 10 against the Wings for the first time since a 10-5 win in St. Louis on Dec. 1, 1984.
