The Detroit Red Wings have something really special going on this season. Lucas Raymond thinks so.
He if anyone should know.
Five seasons into his NHL career, Raymond has experienced highs and lows with the Red Wings. He has gone from a stocky rookie to being a key player in the squad. He has seen both teammates and coaches come and go.
And according to the 23-year-old, this year’s edition of the Red Wings is the best he has been a part of.
– I have to say that, at least so far, confirms Raymond when NHL.com/sv in connection with a press meeting for Swedish media puts forward the claim.
– Only if you really look at how we are in the table, but it is also noticeable in the way we win matches. And actually also how we lose games. How we look on the ice. Then there is a long season, there are many games left and we know that. For us right now, it is important to continue in the same way, above all by maintaining our consistency and doing it match in and match out.
– But if you look at the years I’ve been here… absolutely.
It is easy to understand what Raymond means.
The Red Wings (30-16-4, 64 points) have impressed greatly in 2025-26 and, with just over a third of the regular season left to play, are at the top of the Eastern Conference. And perhaps most importantly: slowly but surely, the margin down to the famous playoff line begins to widen.
