If you take a look at tweets mentioning Lucas Raymond during the months of November and December, you will find a lot of people freaking out over his “sophomore slump”. And to be honest, you can understand why. He didn’t score a goal in his first seven games of the season and had just two assists. After finally recovering and scoring six goals in his next seven games, he then had just one goal over his next 15 games. He didn’t quite look like the same player Red Wings fans loved watching a season ago.
Well, that slump has come to an end and he’s playing just as well if not better than he did at any time last season.
