Overview
- Ivan Barbashev scored at 13:45 of the second period on a rebound at the crease for the game's only goal.
- Vegas goaltender Akira Schmid earned just the second shutout of his career with 24 saves, while John Gibson stopped 33 of 34 for Detroit.
- A late Golden Knights tally was overturned on a successful Red Wings offside challenge, preserving the one-goal margin.
- Detroit went 0-for-2 on the power play, including a key third-period opportunity that did not produce the equalizer.
- The defeat capped a 3-2 road trip and left the Red Wings 9-5, with the Rangers up next at home and Patrick Kane tentatively expected back later this week.
