LUCAS RAYMOND NEWS

Two-point night Raymond contributed two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers.

Impact Raymond was heavily involved in a busy first period which included six goals between the teams, plus he converted Detroit's first goal in the shootout. The burgeoning winger is trying to find his groove following the team's acquisition of Patrick Kane, but talent alone makes Raymond a near lock to remain in the top six. With 10 goals, 16 assists, and seven power-play points through 33 games, Raymond is on track to make his third season the best one yet.

Leads comeback in Tuesday's win Raymond scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact With the Red Wings down 4-3 after two periods, Raymond got the comeback started by banging a one-timer from the slot past Jordan Binnington inside the first minute of the final frame. He then helped set up Robby Fabbri for the eventual game-winner about six minutes later. Raymond has three multi-point performances in the last seven games, racking up two goals and eight point over that stretch, and the 21-year-old appears headed for a breakout campaign with 10 goals and 24 points through 28 contests.

Four-game, six-point streak Raymond had a goal and an assist in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Raymond's goal was the Wings' third in a 49-second span in the second that chased starter Mackenzie Blackwood from the net. He's on a four-game, six-point streak that includes five assists. Raymond is currently third in team scoring with 22 points, two behind Alex DeBrincat and three behind Dylan Larkin. He's on pace to break his 57-point rookie scoring total (2021-22) and could benefit from the arrival of Patrick Kane.

Fiery effort in OT win Raymond recorded an assist to complement a season-high six shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact While Raymond couldn't get any shots to fall, his assist on the game's first goal proved to be critical, as the Wings needed every bit of offense in the bank after coughing up a 3-0 lead. Despite Raymond providing five goals and 11 assists over the last month, the burgeoning winger suddenly has a slippery grip on the top-line role since future Hall of Famer Patrick Kane (hip) put pen to paper on a one-year deal.

Two helpers in Thursday's win Raymond produced two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Both helpers came in the second period as Detroit pulled away. It was a strong response from Raymond after he saw a six-game point streak snapped Wednesday against the Rangers, and on the season the third-year winger is up to eight goals and 18 points in 22 contests as he puts his sophomore slump behind him.

Extends goal streak Raymond stretched his goal streak to four games with a tally in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Raymond has eight goals and six helpers through 18 games. A shooting percentage of 20.0 shows that he's sniping with pinpoint accuracy, but he could be on another level if only for improved efficiency on the power play. Raymond has generated a single goal and assist on the man advantage. Fantasy managers should keep in mind that he's only 21 years old with plenty of upside.

Goal streak at three games Raymond scored his seventh goal of the season in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The third-year winger found the back of the net for the third straight game late in the second period, giving the Red Wings a 2-0 lead that slipped away in the third. Six of Raymond's goals on the campaign have come in the last 10 contests, a stretch in which he's produced eight points in total, and he seems to be putting his sophomore slump behind him -- the 21-year-old is well on his way to topping the 23 goals and 57 points he racked up as a rookie in 2021-22.

Sets tone for Wings in victory Raymond opened the scoring in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Raymond crafted a wrap-around goal that required some initial juking before throwing goalie Spencer Martin out of position. The Red Wings are bound for Raymond's home country of Sweden for the NHL Global Series, which will commence Thursday against the Senators and also includes the Wild and Maple Leafs for a total of four games between the clubs.

Two points in Saturday's win Raymond scored a power-play goal and recorded an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.

Impact He opened the scoring for Detroit late in the first period after a slick cross-ice feed from Dylan Larkin found Raymond wide open in front of Linus Ullmark, and the third-year winger returned the favor in the third as his pass in the neutral zone sprung Larkin for a rush that resulted in the Red Wings' third goal. Raymond had a bit of a sophomore slump last season, but he's flying to begin the 2023-24 campaign with four goals and 10 points through 12 games.

Continues strong start Raymond scored the overtime winner and provided an assist in Detroit's 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders on Monday.

Impact Raymond had 45 points in 74 contests as a sophomore in 2022-23, which was a step down from his 57-point rookie campaign, but the stage might be set for a bounce-back season. He's certainly on the right track, providing three goals and eight points in 10 outings this year. The one point of concern is Raymond's playing on the second power-play unit instead of the first and has been limited to one assist with the man advantage as a result. By contrast, the 21-year-old finished last season with 19 power-play points while serving in a bigger special-teams role. So far, that hasn't hindered his overall offensive production this year, but we'll have to see if that changes for the worse as the season drags on.

Distributes three assists Raymond notched three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Life alongside Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat got a little brighter for Raymond with his big effort Sunday. He helped out on all three of DeBrincat's goals in the game. Raymond has a goal, four assists, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through six outings. While he's not enjoying the overall success of his linemates as much, the 21-year-old winger remains a strong option for fantasy given his current role.

Shifts to top line Saturday Raymond will be on the top line for Saturday's home opener against the Lightning, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Raymond's ascension to the top line bumps veteran David Perron down in the lineup, but the experiment evidently is intended to put a spark in the Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat pairing, which Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde "isn't quite sold on," per Khan. Raymond could use a boost himself, as he was denied on his lone shot attempt and failed to record a helper in Thursday's 4-3 Opening Night loss to the Devils.

Three helpers in wild loss Raymond recorded three assists, two of them on the power play, in Thursday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact He found the scoresheet in each regulation period, with his final helper setting up David Perron with a minute left in the third and forcing overtime. Raymond has had something of a sophomore slump this season, but over the last 15 games he's racked up two goals and 11 points, including five assists on the power play, and the 21-year-old could be gearing up for a breakout in 2023-24.

Back in scoring column Raymond opened the scoring for the Red Wings in their 5-0 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.

Impact Raymond last scored March 8, but he made good on his only shot attempt in this commanding win. While the second-year winger has shown improvement defensively, the Wings have just five games remaining and he's 16 points behind his stellar rookie outpout. Nonetheless, Raymond has been a valuable fantasy option since day one in the NHL, and the future is very bright for the Swede who just turned 21 years old last Tuesday.
