The Detroit Red Wings had chances throughout the game, but were unable to get past New York Rangers goalkeeper Jonathan Quick in Saturday’s 4-0 loss.
Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist and Quick stopped 37 shots for his 61st career shutout.
The Rangers completed a three-season series streak with Saturday’s win.
Jimmy Vesey, Chris Kreider and Reilly Smith also scored for New York, which won three of four.
Panarin, who reached the 800-point mark in New York’s 6-1 loss to Buffalo on Thursday, has at least one point in eleven of his last twelve games against the Red Wings. Quick had eight saves in the first period, 19 in the second and 10 in the third for his first shutout in three starts this season.
Ville Husso had 20 saves for Detroit in his first appearance since opening night. The Red Wings have lost two straight games and five of seven (2-4-1).
Husso was recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League on Friday with Alex Lyon sidelined with a lower-body injury.
The Red Wings, who trailed 1-0 after the first period, peppered the Rangers’ net with 19 shots on goal for most of the second period. Patrick Kane and Dylan Larkin rang shots off the goal post. Vesey then squelched Detroit’s momentum and gave his team a 2–0 lead by beating Husso on the glove side with 3:08 remaining in the period.
Quick recorded 17 consecutive shutout seasons, which marks the sixth-longest streak in NHL history.
The Red Wings visit Pittsburgh on Wednesday to open a four-game trip.
