Craig Anderson stopped 39 shots in Ottawa's second consecutive loss.
Mike Howard made it a one-goal game with 35 seconds left, but the Senators never got another scoring chance.
Both teams had power-play goals in the first period. Ottawa's Kyle Turris connected on an early one-timer with a 5-on-3 advantage, but Detroit tied it when Gustav Nyquist scored his 10th of the season on a rebound of Henrik Zetterberg's shot.
Erik Karlsson scored early in the third past a well-screened Jimmy Howard.
Senators forward Chris Neal was helped off the ice late in the second period after a helmet-to-helmet collision with teammate Zack Smith. Neal returned in the third.
