Raymond collected two power-play assists in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Bruins.
The 20-year-old winger had only one goal and zero helpers in seven games since returning from a lower-body injury, but Raymond made an impact Sunday by recording his first multi-point performance since Jan. 12. It's been a disappointing sophomore campaign overall for him, and while his future remains bright, Raymond has just 16 goals and 36 points through 58 games in 2022-23.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Breaks out of slump
Rotowire
Raymond scored an equalizer in Wednesday's eventual 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The crafty second-year winger deflected a shot from Robert Hagg to knot the score at three goals apiece late in the third frame. Raymond missed eight games with a lower-body injury --- plus, he went without a point in the five games following his activation from injured reserve -- but his clutch game-tying tally along with five shots in this latest contest should renew his confidence moving forward.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Slated to return Monday
Rotowire
Raymond (lower body) is likely to be available for Monday's road clash against the Senators, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Raymond has missed the past eight games with his injury. As a rookie, the winger appeared in all 82 games, and he was often the talk of the town en route to 23 goals and 34 assists. Coach Derek Lalonde seems quite optimistic about the skilled winger returning for the next contest. "He had a really good skate today," Lalonde said Sunday. "We'll talk to our medical staff to see how he responds from it. But I'd be surprised if he's not available for tomorrow." Fantasy managers counting on Raymond should look out for his eventual activation from injured reserve as the biggest clue that he'll be fit to return.

Rotowire

Raymond has missed the last seven games, but he's getting close to a return. Raymond was outstanding in his rookie season, scoring 23 goals and adding 34 assists in 2021-22, but he has had the proverbial 'sophomore jinx' this season, scoring just 15 goals with 18 assists. Consider him day-to-day at this time.

Rotowire
Raymond was the lone scorer for the Wings in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

The Wings submitted a strong comeback bid with three unanswered goals in the final frame -- including a slick backhand tally from Raymond -- but it wasn't quite enough in this home clash.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Stock continues to rise
Rotowire
Raymond scored a goal and added two assists, one of which came on the power play, in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Thursday.
He took a drop pass from Dylan Larkin and wired a shot from inside the right circle past Ilya Samsonov at 8:48 of the first. Raymond has two straight three-point games this week and he's back on pace to equal his 57-point rookie season. But there's been a big improvement in his game -- he's minus-3 (minus-32 last season overall) and delivering far more on the power play than he did last year. Raymond already has five PPG and 14 PPA; he had five PPG and 18 PPA over 82 games in 2021-22.

Raymond picked up a point in each period Tuesday, assisting on Oskar Sundqvist's and Dylan Larkin's goals while scoring an empty-net goal to ice the game. While the second-year forward hasn't made a major jump in production from his rookie season, he is still having a solid year overall with 11 goals and 26 points in 39 games.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Gets two power-play assists
Rotowire
Raymond registered two assists in Detroit's 5-4 overtime win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Raymond's two helpers were recorded during Detroit power plays. He has eight goals and 20 points in 33 games this season, including 11 power-play points. Entering the game, Raymond was averaging 3:03 of ice time with the man advantage, and he likely needs to keep that role in order to maintain his offensive production. Fortunately, the 20-year-old will probably continue to be a key player on the Red Wings' power play.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Back on scoresheet
Rotowire
Raymond supplied a power-play assist Saturday, albeit in a 6-3 loss to the Senators.
It's been tough sledding for Raymond, as he's stacked only three points against a minus-5 rating since the beginning of December -- an eight-game span. Currently at seven goals and 10 assists, the fleet-footed winger is unlikely to match his 57-point rookie campaign, which put him in the Calder Trophy conversation for a good chunk of the season. Still, Raymond's immense upside as the fourth overall pick from 2020 makes him a tough one to drop in redraft leagues.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Records seventh goal of 2022-23
Rotowire
Raymond contributed a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win against Columbus.
Raymond ended his three-game scoring drought. His goal Sunday was his seventh marker and 15th point in 24 contests this season. He finished 2021-22 with 23 goals and 57 points in 82 games, so Raymond's a bit behind that offensive pace, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the 20-year-old do better as the campaign progresses.
