After four straight losses, Detroit is back as a winner again. This after defeating Washington with 4–2. An important cog in the victory: Swedish star Lucas Raymond, who scored a goal and an assist in the match.
It's always nice with a win, especially after a tough period, says Raymond to Expressen.
This was Detroit's second match with new coach Todd McLellan.
We've got new energy and it feels like we're playing more determined, says Raymond about the coaching change.
Raymond has made 36 points, 15 goals and 21 assists, in 36 matches this season.
For Washington, superstar Alexander Ovetjkin scored a goal for the second match in a row. The 39-year-old is back with a vengeance after missing 16 matches due to a leg fracture.
He now stands at 870 goals in NHL and has only 25 goals left to break Wayne Gretzky's goal record.
