Watch: Walman picks up first Red Wings point with heavy assist on Raymond goal

Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond turned on the jets to score his 21st goal of the season in the second period of Friday’s game against the Ottawa Senators. After carrying the puck out of the defensive zone, Raymond fed a streaking Jake Walman on the left side before darting toward the Ottawa net. Raymond managed to find some separation from backchecking Senators forward Tim Stützle as Walman unleashed a laser of a shot in the direction of goaltender Mads Sogaard. Playing in his first National Hockey League game, the 21-year-old Sogaard obstructed most of Walman’s blast … but not enough. The puck barely skittered through the 6’7″ goaltender and lay exposed in the crease for Raymond to tap into the yawning cage. Walman picked up his first point in a Red Wings sweater with the lone assist on Raymond’s goal, which tied the game at 1–1 with 2:18 gone in the second period. The 26-year-old defenseman now has seven points (three goals, four assists) in 38 games split between the Red Wings and St. Louis Blues
