Panarin then gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead at 8:30 by scoring on a cross-ice pass from Trocheck after Alexis Lafreniere forced a turnover at the Red Wings' end.

Panarin made it 2-0 with a power play goal at 15:39, firing a wrist shot over Talbot's shoulder from the top of the left faceoff circle.

Seider cut it to 2-1 at 1:27 of the second period, but Trocheck made it 3-1 at 8:46 by knocking down Panarin's shot on the power play.

Panarin completed the hat trick with another power play goal, extending the score to 4-1 at 11:42. He scored a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from Fox.

“They obviously got the power play going,” Detroit defenseman Ben Chiarot said. “Three in a row – it’s a really good power play and when you give them that many chances it’s dangerous.”

Victor Mancini scored his first NHL goal with a wrist shot near the blue line to make it 5-1 at 12:20. Mancini, a Michigan native, had a large cheering section.

“Words can’t really describe this feeling, especially in Michigan,” he said. “My mother and grandmother were here, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins ​​and friends.”

Compher made the final score 5-2 with a power play goal at 16:41 of the third period.

NOTES: Panarin recorded his 23rd four-point game of his career. Among players who made their debuts since 1963-64 (when the NHL Draft was introduced), only seven undrafted players have recorded as many four-point performances: Wayne Gretzky (217), Phil Esposito (70), Peter Stastny (54), Bobby Orr (42), Adam Oates (41), Dino Ciccarelli (30) and Ken Hodge (23). … Fox had three assists for the second time this season and 13th time in his career, surpassing Bill Gadsby and Brad Park as a Rangers defenseman tied for second alone. Only Brian Leetch (37) has more. … Panarin has made 56 three-point plays since joining the Rangers in 2019-20. The only NHL players with more goals during this period are McDavid (83) and Leon Draisaitl (65).
