Lucas Raymond injury update: Red Wings star exits game with upper-body issue

TORONTO — The Detroit Red Wings had to finish their game without their top-line winger.

Lucas Raymond was injured in the second period Monday, Oct. 13, as the Wings played the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.

Raymond absorbed a big hit by Chris Tanev along the boards and went to the dressing room.

A team spokesperson said during the second intermission that Raymond suffered an upper-body injury and would not return to the game.

Raymond picked up his third point of the season when he had a hand in Dylan Larkin’s power-play goal near the end of the first period.

Raymond propelled the Wings to a victory over the Leafs on Saturday with two goals.
