2 months agoDetroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond tallied two assists in his overtime loss to Team Canada on Wednesday evening. In the second frame, Raymond tallied his first assist, which was the secondary helper on Jonas Brodin's goal. Later in the third period, Raymond would add his second secondary assist to set up Minnesota's Joel Eriksson Ek on the game-tying goal. He was also named the third star of the contest and logged three total shots on goal. Despite playing on Team Sweden's third line, Raymond was very productive in this contest. Fantasy managers in DFS formats should consider putting Raymond in their lineup on Saturday when they face Team Finland. Before the tournament, the 22-year-old had tallied 17 points over his previous 15 games with Detroit.

6 months agoDetroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond has agreed to a long-term extension with the team, signing up for eight more years on a contract worth $64.6 million.
