From the Hockey News’s Caleb Kerney…
Raymond can’t stop collecting points. His goal last night was his 19th of the season and his 50th point of 2024-25. He is the first Red Wings’ player to record 50 points this season.
Last year, it took Raymond 59 games to record the same number of points. He’s only played 45 games this year and is on pace to record 92 points and 34 goals. If that holds true, he will finish the year with a career-high in both categories.
The Red Wings can let the loss roll off their backs tonight in Dallas. Even if they can’t win them all, they can stop the losses from piling up.
And Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen:
Elmer Soderblom continues to raise his offensive profile as he added the empty-net insurance goal in the Grand Rapids Griffins’ 4-2 win against the Cleveland Monsters.
The Griffins lead the AHL’s Central Division by three points over the Texas Stars.
Soderblom has three goals and three assists for six points over the past five games. He has put up five goals and 12 points over his past 17 games. The 6-foot-8 Soderblom started this season with two points in his first 13 games. The Swedish left wing has only had one minus game in his past 10 games.
With Soderblom’s increased offense production comes wonder whether he might be able to earn his way back to the Red Wings if the team has injuries. Soderblom, 23, played 21 games for the Red Wings in 2022-23, but spent all of last season and the first half of this season in Grand Rapids.
