Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond has started the 4 Nations Face-Off strong for Sweden and aims to stay productive in Monday's clash against Team USA. Raymond has recorded three assists through the tournament's first two games, doing all his scoring during even-strength play. However, he hasn't found success in front of the net, coming up empty-handed with five attempts on goal. Combined with his time with the Red Wings, Raymond is on a five-game point streak. The 22-year-old is on track for a career year in the NHL this season, boasting 21 goals and 59 points with 55 games played.

Detroit 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.

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond tallied four points during their victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday evening. In the opening frame, Raymond found the back of the net on a backhand shot. Raymond tallied his second point in the second frame, a helper on Alex DeBrincat's power-play tally. In the third, Raymond would add two more helpers. Since the start of the month (13 games), Raymond has tallied 18 points (five goals, 13 helpers,) with eight of them coming on the power-play. Overall, the former No.4 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft has tallied 56 points through 50 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a must-start option, as he is on pace to set a career-high in points. He will look to stay hot on Thursday evening against the Edmonton Oilers.

Detroit 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. The salary cap hit on Raymond's contract will stand at $8.075 million. The 22-year-old was a restricted free agent after coming off a three-year entry-level deal. Raymond bounced back from a down year in 2023-24, scoring a team-high 72 points (31 goals, 41 assists) in 82 outings. Through 238 career games, the Swedish winger boasts 174 points (71 goals, 103 assists). After being selected as the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft, Raymond has developed into one of the Red Wings' best players, but he should still have plenty more room to grow.
