Sunday, April 7th, 2024

Lucas Raymond, alongside Patrick Kane and Dylan Larkin, led the Detroit Red Wings to a victory against the Buffalo Sabres with a score of 3-1 on Sunday.

Opening the score early, Raymond netted his 26th goal of the season within the game's first minute. Kane and Larkin each added a goal, with Raymond assisting on Larkin's goal, contributing to the team's win.

In the net for Detroit, Alex Lyon successfully blocked 37 shots. The only goal for the Sabres came from Tage Thompson during a power play in the first period. This victory places the Red Wings in the second wild-card position in the Eastern Conference, accumulating 84 points and edging out Washington and Philadelphia.

Throughout the season, Raymond has become an invaluable player for Detroit, especially noted in his performances against the Sabres with 10 goals and 5 assists in 12 games, leading to the Red Wings holding a 3-1 season record over Buffalo.

Derek Lalonde, the team's coach, lauded Raymond for his exceptional play and contributions to the team's success. Following suit, Lyon highlighted the team's defensive accomplishments, particularly praising Moritz Seider's 10 blocked shots.

On the other side, the Sabres voiced their dissatisfaction, especially Alex Tuch, who was notably disappointed by the team's consecutive defeats to Detroit as the season nears its end.

Looking ahead, both teams are gearing up for their next matches on Tuesday, with the Sabres set to face Dallas and the Red Wings hosting Washington.
