Jeremy Laura: Detroit Red Wings beat King 5-2, Soderblom gets goal, Raymond’s 4 pt night

Small correction, that was Elmer’s 6th NHL goal, but first in three years.

Wings hired Todd McLellan on Dec 26th. Lost to leafs next day

11-3-1 in the 15 games since

Tonight came back down 2-0 to beat the team that fired him

PP has been the best in the league. PK made strides. Weight lifted off Larkin’s shoulders. Young players blossoming

Ah, thanks for that. Was a long night putting that compilation together, my fault. I’ll correct

Larkin was looking rough during interviews before the swap. The whole team feels different. Felt bad on that 2nd goal credited to L.A. but Raymond started a great comeback. Very cool to see

I loved Raymond’s goal right after Seider’s miscue. It was a killer backhand. I haven’t seen him score many like that. Do you all recall him scoring a lot on the backhand?

I don’t, and never like that. He went in so fast and chipped it beautifully. When I put together the goal reel I watched that one multiple times. Just awesome

It was a thing of beauty.

Is Lucas Raymond the quietest star in Detroit?

Ended last year with a big step and now he's taking another leap. 23 points in 16 games under McLellan

He currently ranks 13th in the NHL in scoring and 7th among wingers

Pacing for a 90+ point season at 22 years old

He's their best pure goal scorer they've had since the Zetterberg / Datsyuk days for sure... and he may not have even hit his ceiling yet at age 22. He's certainly turning into an elite player at this rate. Question is can he sustain it ? To be real superstar you have to be consistent. We'll find out...
