Rookie forward Lucas Raymond has hit a goal-scoring lull. But he remains productive in other departments.
Raymond has eight assists in the last 10 games, he's still playing well defensively and his confidence isn't wavering.
As coach Jeff Blashill sees it, Raymond isn't in any sort of slump.
“I haven’t seen a dropoff in his play,” Blashill said Monday.
In Sunday's 4-3 Wings' shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the three best rookies in the NHL — Raymond, defenseman Moritz Seider and Ducks forward Trevor Zegras — played and made an impact.
Zegras had a goal and assist.
