Raymond’s Three-Point Night Sends Red Wings Past Canucks

Detroit extended its point streak with a decisive road win that left the team facing short-term goalie uncertainty after John Gibson exited with an upper-body injury.

Overview

  • Lucas Raymond scored two goals and added an assist to fuel a 5-2 Detroit victory at Rogers Arena on Thursday, Oct. 22.
  • John Gibson left after two periods with an upper-body injury and Michal Postava was recalled from Grand Rapids and made his NHL debut to start the third period.
  • The win extended Detroit’s run of games with at least one point to six and improved the Red Wings’ record to 4-3-3.
  • Vancouver fell to 2-9-1 and its losing streak reached nine games as the Canucks were held without a shot in the entire second period and goalie Kevin Lankinen continued to struggle.
  • Detroit now heads into the remainder of its Western road trip with immediate questions about goalie depth given Daniil Tarasov’s earlier practice issue and Gibson’s injury, a situation that could force further roster moves.
