Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Earns two points in loss
Rotowire
Raymond scored a goal on two shots and dished a power-play assist in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks.
Raymond's goal put the Red Wings ahead 3-1 in the second period, and he helped out on an Alex DeBrincat tally in the third after Detroit fell behind. The goal was Raymond's second of the year, though he has six assists during a seven-game goal drought. The winger is at 16 points (nine on the power play), 27 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 16 appearances. He's too talented to be held down by bad luck all season, so expect a rebound in scoring at some point.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Stays warm with assist
Rotowire
Raymond provided an assist in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Raymond has a goal and seven assists over his last six games, with five of those eight points coming on the power play. The 22-year-old winger continues to shuffle between the first and second lines, trading places with Patrick Kane regularly, but both are part of the first power-play unit. Raymond has been an excellent playmaker with a goal and 11 assists through 12 outings, but he was a 30-goal scorer last year and is shooting just 5.3 percent, so things should eventually balance out a bit.

Rotowire
Raymond produced two power-play assists in Thursday's 5-3 win against the Devils.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Records assist Thursday
Rotowire
Raymond notched an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Raymond has four helpers and 11 shots on net through four contests this season. That's a bit of bad luck to not have a goal yet, but the 22-year-old is still involved in the offense. While he saw just 15:26 of ice time in Thursday's loss, Raymond is a virtual lock to remain in a top-six role throughout the year after signing an eight-year contract with a cap hit just north of $8 million in September.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Strong finish to season
Rotowire
Raymond posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Raymond was Detroit's best player in April, as he delivered seven goals and 12 points through eight contests. Fans of the Winged Wheel were given a renewed sense of hope that their team would be playoff bound in large part to Raymond's game-tying goal against the Penguins last Thursday and his overtime tally versus the Habs on Monday, but the Capitals snuck into the postseason instead by virtue of beating the Flyers in their regular-season finale. Raymond's third season included 31 goals, 41 assists and 16 power-play points through 82 games. He will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Goes off with four points
Rotowire
Raymond earned a hat trick to complement an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Raymond deposited two backhand goals in the first period, and his breakaway tally in the third frame tied the score at 5-5 to ultimately force overtime. He also was the primary distributor on Detroit's penultimate goal, finding captain Dylan Larkin at the doorstep. Raymond's competitiveness has been off the charts of late, with the four-point night extending his season-long total to 68 points (29 goals, 39 assists) through 79 games. While it's still anyone's guess on whether the Wings will have enough grit to claim a wild-card playoff spot, it's safe to assume that Raymond will soon command a huge raise as a restricted free agent cashing out the balance of a three-year deal worth $3.425 million annually.

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.
