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

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

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

Panarin completed the hat trick with another power-play goal to extend it to 4-1 at 11:42. He scored on 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 is a really good power play and if you give them that many chances, it is dangerous.”

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

“Words can’t really describe that feeling, especially in Michigan,” he said. “My mom and my grandmother were here, along with a lot of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.”

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

NOTES: Panarin recorded his 23rd career four-point game. Among players to debut since 1963-64 (when the NHL Draft was introduced), only seven undrafted players have had 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 the 13th time in his career, surpassing Bill Gadsby and Brad Park for sole possession of second by a Rangers defenseman. Only Brian Leetch (37) has more. … Panarin has 56 three-point games since joining the Rangers in 2019-20. The only NHL players with more in that span are McDavid (83) and Leon Draisaitl (65).
