Veteran Detroit goaltender Dominik Hasek allowed three first-period goals on just seven shots. Brendan Shanahan, Michael Nylander and Marcel Hossa scored first-period goals for the Rangers.

Shanahan was facing the Red Wings for the first time since leaving the team last summer to sign with New York as an unrestricted free agent. He scored 309 goals while leading Detroit to three Stanley Cups in nine seasons.
