Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Brad Boyes scored 2:43 into overtime, helping the St. Louis Blues to a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena.

In the extra session, Paul Kariya held the puck along the right wing, then turned and put a feed on the tape of Boyes' stick. Boyes, stationed just in front of the crease, easily knocked the puck past Chris Osgood to notch his second goal of the night and 40th of the season.

Erik Johnson and Andy McDonald also scored, and Kariya finished with three assists for the Blues, who had lost 15 of 17 coming in. Manny Legace stopped 36 shots in the victory.

Johan Franzen notched a pair of goals and Brian Rafalski also tallied for the Red Wings, who had a four-game win streak snapped in this back end of a home- and-home. The club remains tops in the Western Conference with 109 points, five better than San Jose, which beat Anaheim on Friday to claim the Pacific Division crown.

Osgood made 17 saves in defeat, while Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg had three assists each for Detroit.

"For the first period and a half we didn't want to shoot," said Detroit head coach Mike Babcock. "You won't score goals if you don't shoot. Sometimes you're just not as pumped up as you should be. We talk about it, but sometimes it just isn't there."

The Blues had a 2-1 lead heading to the third period, and McDonald's 17th marker of the campaign upped it to 3-1 at the 9:28 mark.

Detroit, though, pulled within a goal on Franzen's power-play tally with 6:33 remaining, as he batted the puck out of mid air and into the back of the net. Then, with 4:41 to play, Franzen knocked in his second of the night, making it a 3-3 game. The play materialized with Franzen finding plenty of open space on the low left side of crease, tapping home Zetterberg's cross-ice pass for the equalizer.

The Blues tallied the lone goal of the first period, as Boyes found open room in front and tapped Kariya's feed from the end boards past Osgood at 12:20.

The visitors made it 2-0 on the power play early in the second. Directly off the faceoff, the puck was drawn back to the right point, where Kariya dished to a wide open Johnson, who's slapper beat Osgood at 4:29.

The Wings came right back and cashed in on their own power play, as Rafalski's shot was deflected on its way to the net and sailed into the top right corner at 5:07.
