The second period was wild, with seven goals scored. But the third period was a tight-checking affair and it looked like the game would end in a draw.
But Marshall, cruising down the left wing, fired a slap shot that seemed to fool Hall, the puck slipping under the goalie's left armpit.
The win was Canadiens' (4-2-0) fourth straight, while Detroit (2-2-2) is 0-2-2 after winning their first two games of the season.
All nine goals in the game were scored by different players.
Two of Montreal's goals came on the power play, where Canadiens are 9-for-27 this season. Montreal is the league's leader in goals scored (26).
Red Wings trailed, 4-2, after Dickie Moore scored a power play goal at 11:36 of the second period.
But Billy Dea and Larry Hillman scored 1:39 apart to tie the game, 4-4.
The teams combined for 27 shots and seven goals in the second period, but only 12 shots and one goal in the third.
