Red Wings prospect Lucas Raymond posted 2 assists in the SHL today, and while he’s playing on the Frolunda Indians’ 3rd line for the most part, Raymond sits second on Frolunda in scoring with 10 points (5 goals and 5 assists) in 15 games played.
The Free Press’s Helene St. James wrote an article discussing Raymond and the rest of the Red Wings’ European-playing prospects this afternoon:
The Detroit Red Wings should be fun to watch next fall, at least from the standpoint of enjoying what appears to be a strong youth movement.
While the NHL is trying to figure out how to play as the pandemic rages across North America, select Wings prospects are enjoying success in Europe. Forward Lucas Raymond, the No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft, is on a four-game point streak with his Swedish Hockey League club, Frölunda.
Raymond found Joel Lundqvist in the slot for the first goal in Thursday’s 4-3 victory over Färjestad and earned a second assist on the second goal. That gave the 18-year-old five goals and five assists in in 15 games, equaling the points he tallied in 33 games last season with Frölunda.
