MLive’s Ansar Khan discusses Lucas Raymond’s resurgent scoring of late, noting that Raymond’s been able to score 4 goals over the course of the last 4 games, making up for a difficult start to the 2024-2025 regular season:
Raymond suddenly has six goals for the season, after scoring just once in the first 15 games.
“I felt like it was a matter of time because of the caliber of player, how he’s elevated his game into last year and even this year,” coach Derek Lalonde said. “So, good sign and not surprised.”
When Raymond wasn’t scoring, he was facilitating. He had 13 assists in the first 15 games. He leads the team with 22 points in 22 games.
“Obviously, it’s always fun to score,” Raymond said. “Everyone wants to score. I’m no different. But at the same time, it’s just about doing the right things and good things happen. And I think that’s kind of my mentality. Goals go up and down, whatever, but I think if you stick to doing the right things and playing your game the right way, I think good things happen.”
In his past 40 games, including the final 18 last season, Raymond has 20 goals and 23 assists.
