Lucas Raymond has started his goal shooting in the NHL.
In the winning match against Columbus, he scored his first of his career.
– It is of course a fantastic feeling. You always want the first goal completed, and I had to run it in a victory, Raymond tells NHL.com.
After two goalless periods between Detroit and Columbus, it exploded in the third period in Little Caesar’s arena.
Just over six minutes in, it was Lucas Raymond who accelerated things when he scored 1-0 from the right technical circle.
The goal was Raymond’s first in the NHL, played by Dykan Larkin.
– It is of course a fantastic feeling. You always want the first goal completed, and I had to run it in a victory, says Raymond and continues:
– It’s easy to play with Larkin and Bertuzzi because they are both fantastic players. It’s an incredible way to start my NHL career.
Yes, for Raymond’s goal was the first in what turned out to be a 4-1 victory for Detroit.
Barely three minutes after Raymond’s goal, he was in the run-up to Tyler Bertuzzi’s 2-0, where Raymond was noted for an assist point, before Columbus reduced in numerical superiority.
Through two laps, however, Detroit was able to hold off for a 4-1 victory at home.
