Andrew Copp, J.T. Compher and Dylan Larkin scored for Detroit (37-31-8, 82 points), which remained one point behind the New York Islanders for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. David Perron logged two assists.
Kreider scored the game-winning goal with 9:46 left on a power play when he put home a rebound in front of the Detroit goal.
New York took a 1-0 lead with 14:02 remaining in the first period on a goal by Cuylle, who stole a pass in the Detroit zone by Red Wings defenseman Austin Czarnik and placed a shot between the legs of Detroit goalie Alex Lyon (34 saves).
Detroit answered just 1:13 later, tying the game at 1-1 when Copp pounced on a loose puck in front of New York goalie Jonathan Quick (31 saves) and backhanded a shot in.
The Rangers went up 2-1 with 29 seconds left in the first period when Goodrow jumped on a loose puck in front of Lyon following a faceoff and fired a shot into the goal.
Detroit tied the game 1:24 into the second period when the puck caromed off Compher as he was battling in front of Quick and went into the goal to make it 2-2.
The Red Wings then took a 3-2 lead with 6:41 left in the second on a power play when Larkin put home a rebound to the left of Quick. It was Larkin's 30th goal of the year.
