Lucas Raymond left Monday’s game for the Detroit Red Wings with an apparent injury. The team released a statement during the game that the forward will not return to the lineup.

Raymond went to the Red Wings’ locker room after a hit from Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev.

Raymond being out for any significant amount of time would be terrible news for the Red Wings. He had a career-high 80 points during the 2024-25 NHL season and is likely to be one of, if not the biggest threats offensively for the team this season.

Drafted fourth overall in 2020, he has developed into a top offensive player. He scored the 100th goal of his NHL career earlier this week.

Hopefully, his injury isn’t serious and he’ll be able to return without missing much time.
