K’Andre Miller and Mika Zibanejad scored in regulation for the Rangers, who are 16-4-3 at home and had their three-game winning streak halted. Shesterkin made 31 saves.

"The second half of the game, I liked our game, but the first half we came out real flat obviously and Detroit took it to us," Rangers coach Gerald Gallant said. "We probably got the one point we deserved, but no more."

The Red Wings were clinging to a 2-1 lead when Zibanejad tied the game with a power-play goal at 11:51 of the third. Adam Fox and Artemi Panarin assisted on Zibanejad’s 19th goal of the season and 11th on the power-play. Zibanejad has points in five of his last six games.
