Lucas Raymond becomes the first Red Wings rookie to score 50 points since Nicklas Lidstrom

Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond reached the 50-point plateau with an assist on Tyler Bertuzzi’s go-ahead goal in Thursday’s game against the New York Rangers. In doing so, Raymond became only the 13th player in Red Wings history — and the first since 1991–92 — to score at least 50 points with the team as a rookie. Raymond picked up the secondary helper on Bertuzzi’s 26th goal of the season. With the Red Wings on a power play in the first minute of the second period, Raymond carried the puck down the right side in the offensive zone before sending it to Moritz Seider at the point. After making a couple of slick moves with the puck inside the blue line, Seider slid the puck over to Bertuzzi in the high slot. The 27-year-old winger wound up for a slap shot and wired the puck past Alexandar Georgiev to give the Red Wings a 3–2 lead. Raymond now has 20 goals and 50 points in 67 games with the Red Wings this season. The last rookie to score 50 points with the Red Wings was Nicklas Lidstrom, who scored 11 g
