Story summary

On Thursday, Lucas Raymond scored twice and assisted on another goal as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5-2. This win extended Vancouver's losing streak to nine games; they have won only two of their first twelve games this season (2-9-1). The Red Wings improved their record to 4-3-3, with points in six consecutive games.

In the game, Raymond's second goal came from redirecting a shot by Albert Johansson past Vancouver’s goalie Kevin Lankinen, who struggled early allowing three goals within nine minutes. Other scorers for Detroit included William Wallinder, Michael Rasmussen, and Emmitt Finnie. Canucks’ top scorer Elias Pettersson managed only one goal, his fourth of the season.

Detroit’s starting goalie John Gibson left with an upper-body injury after stopping four of five shots; he was replaced by rookie Michal Postava, who made seven saves in his NHL debut.
