Sportsnet’s Ryan Dixon gives praise to Lucas Raymond in a set of rookie-themed power rankings:
20. Detroit Red Wings (16-15-3)

Continued; Raymond’s having some difficulty scoring goals right now, but he’s still managed to be a positive asset for the Wings as he battles his way past the rookie “wall.”
