Lucas Raymond scored two goals and added one assist, putting up five shots in 17:42 of ice time as the Red Wings beat the Canucks 5-2 on Thursday, October 22. One of his goals came on the power play.

The three-point night stands out on paper, but Raymond's recent averages already had him at 0.94 points per game before this game. His underlying play grades 51 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Raymond's big line against Vancouver matches the level he had already established in his recent averages: 0.94 points per game, 2.2 shots per game and 0.36 power-play points per game. He skates on the first power-play unit and averages 3:14 a night with the extra attacker, second among all Red Wings skaters. His 19:02 per game at even strength and special teams reflects a secure role in the top six.

The underlying numbers show a player in the middle of the forward pack. His process score of 51 out of 100 among forwards measures shot volume, scoring chance creation and ice time, suggesting the production reflects opportunity more than dominant play. The Red Wings have two games remaining this week, on Saturday and Monday.

What to do

• Keep Raymond in your lineup for the Red Wings' two remaining games this week, on Saturday and Monday.

• His scoring pace is already reflected in his recent averages, so this game does not change his value.

• Do not stream him if he is available, as his process score suggests the production relies heavily on opportunity rather than dominant underlying play.
