In a goaltender's game it took the Rangers just under 2 minutes into overtime to seal a shutout victory for Henrik Lundqvist.
Lundqvist finished the game with 21 saves to earn his 20th win of the season and became first goalie in NHL history with at least 20 wins in each of his first 12 seasons.
Heading into overtime tied at 0-0 as it had been since the first puck drop of the game, J.T. Miller put one past Detroit's Jared Coreau for the Rangers just 1:56 into the period on a beautiful feed from Mats Zuccarello.
Miller earned his 16th goal of the season and 5th Game Winning Goal of the season leading the team in the category.
The assist from Zuccarello was his 29th of the season, leading the team in assists.
The Rangers play tomorrow night at home against the LA Kings in the second of back-to-back games.
