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.

Rotowire
Raymond scored with 1:17 left in the third to send Monday's game to overtime and then scored the OT winner during Detroit's 5-4 victory over Montreal.
With those goals, Raymond hits 31 on the year, securing his first 30-goal campaign. At just 22 years old, there's a bright future ahead of Raymond. He enters the last game of the season Tuesday carrying a five-game point streak, during which he has six goals and 10 points.
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.

Rotowire
Raymond registered an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Raymond stretched his point streak to six games with an empty-net apple that culminated in Dylan Larkin's second goal of the night.

A true star in the making, Raymond has posted 24 goals, 36 assists and 15 power-play points through 70 games.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: On career pace
Rotowire
Raymond had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 5-0 win over Calgary.
Raymond wired a wrist shot late in the third that beat Dan Vladar, who was in net in relief. His assist was a primary one on a J.T. Compher shot that beat starter Jacob Markstrom in the first. Raymond is on a career pace after taking a step back in his sophomore season. He has 15 goals, 29 assists and 97 shots in 54 games, which puts him on track for 67 points and close to 150 shots. Raymond has clicked with Alex DeBrincat and J.T. Compher on the second line and is looking like a natural on PP1. Expect him to remain in those roles.
Raymond added two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Raymond is tearing it up based on a four-game point streak and a pair of apples in each of his last three contests. The third-year winger has been a fixture on the top line since Patrick Kane's Jan. 17 placement on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, but it's worth noting that Kane has a chance to return Wednesday against the Senators.

Rotowire

It's just the second point in five games for the 21-year-old Raymond -- he's up to 13 goals and 35 points through 46 games this season. Despite his cold spell, Raymond should continue skating on the Red Wings' first line and top power-play unit.
