Mikael Samuelsson and Brendan Shanahan scored for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight.

Sillinger, who was drafted by Detroit in 1989 and played for the Red Wings from 1990-95, scored from the slot after taking Petr Cajanek’s pass from behind the net 7 minutes into the third period. Weight, a native of Detroit, scored on the power play 1:46 later with a shot from the left circle.

Shanahan got his 12th on a slap shot from the right circle with 51.4 seconds remaining, after goalie Manny Legace had been pulled for the extra attacker.

Mayers opened the scoring 7:32 into the second period with his team-leading seventh goal. He put in the rebound of his own tip of a shot from the point by Eric Weinrich.

Samuelsson tied it at 1 for the Red Wings with 4:17 remaining in the second period. He tipped Jiri Fischer’s cross-crease pass, off of a rush, into an empty net for his ninth goal of the season.
