Raymond opened the scoring in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond crafted a wrap-around goal that required some initial juking before throwing goalie Spencer Martin out of position. The Red Wings are bound for Raymond's home country of Sweden for the NHL Global Series, which will commence Thursday against the Senators and also includes the Wild and Maple Leafs for a total of four games between the clubs.

Raymond scored a power-play goal and recorded an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
He opened the scoring for Detroit late in the first period after a slick cross-ice feed from Dylan Larkin found Raymond wide open in front of Linus Ullmark, and the third-year winger returned the favor in the third as his pass in the neutral zone sprung Larkin for a rush that resulted in the Red Wings' third goal. Raymond had a bit of a sophomore slump last season, but he's flying to begin the 2023-24 campaign with four goals and 10 points through 12 games.

Raymond scored the overtime winner and provided an assist in Detroit's 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond had 45 points in 74 contests as a sophomore in 2022-23, which was a step down from his 57-point rookie campaign, but the stage might be set for a bounce-back season. He's certainly on the right track, providing three goals and eight points in 10 outings this year. The one point of concern is Raymond's playing on the second power-play unit instead of the first and has been limited to one assist with the man advantage as a result. By contrast, the 21-year-old finished last season with 19 power-play points while serving in a bigger special-teams role. So far, that hasn't hindered his overall offensive production this year, but we'll have to see if that changes for the worse as the season drags on.

Raymond notched three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Life alongside Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat got a little brighter for Raymond with his big effort Sunday. He helped out on all three of DeBrincat's goals in the game. Raymond has a goal, four assists, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through six outings. While he's not enjoying the overall success of his linemates as much, the 21-year-old winger remains a strong option for fantasy given his current role.

Raymond will be on the top line for Saturday's home opener against the Lightning, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond's ascension to the top line bumps veteran David Perron down in the lineup, but the experiment evidently is intended to put a spark in the Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat pairing, which Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde "isn't quite sold on," per Khan. Raymond could use a boost himself, as he was denied on his lone shot attempt and failed to record a helper in Thursday's 4-3 Opening Night loss to the Devils.

Raymond posted an assist in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond is trending toward a strong finish to his second NHL campaign, as evidenced by a four-game point streak comprised of a goal and five helpers. Drafted fourth overall in 2020, Raymond has 17 goals, 28 assists and 19 power-play points through 71 games.

Raymond recorded three assists, two of them on the power play, in Thursday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
He found the scoresheet in each regulation period, with his final helper setting up David Perron with a minute left in the third and forcing overtime. Raymond has had something of a sophomore slump this season, but over the last 15 games he's racked up two goals and 11 points, including five assists on the power play, and the 21-year-old could be gearing up for a breakout in 2023-24.

Raymond opened the scoring for the Red Wings in their 5-0 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond last scored March 8, but he made good on his only shot attempt in this commanding win. While the second-year winger has shown improvement defensively, the Wings have just five games remaining and he's 16 points behind his stellar rookie outpout. Nonetheless, Raymond has been a valuable fantasy option since day one in the NHL, and the future is very bright for the Swede who just turned 21 years old last Tuesday.

Raymond collected two power-play assists in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old winger had only one goal and zero helpers in seven games since returning from a lower-body injury, but Raymond make an impact Sunday as he recorded his first multi-point performance since Jan. 12. It's been a disappointing sophomore campaign overall for him, and while his future remains bright, Raymond has just 16 goals and 36 points through 58 games in 2022-23.

Raymond scored an equalizer in Wednesday's eventual 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The crafty second-year winger deflected a shot from Robert Hagg to knot the score at three goals apiece late in the third frame. Raymond missed eight games with a lower-body injury --- plus, he went without a point in the five games following his activation from injured reserve -- but his clutch game-tying tally along with five shots in this latest contest should renew his confidence moving forward.
