The Story
Lucas Raymond produced a three-point first period and the Detroit Red Wings cruised to a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Thursday, Oct. 22.
Raymond scored at 4:18 of the first period and again at 8:56 of the first period on a power play. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard also registered a strong early game with two assists.
Detroit scored again in the second period when Wallinder netted his second goal of the season at 6:04. At 14:58 of the second period, Michael Rasmussen scored to make the score 4-1, with assists credited to Anton Johansson and J.T. Compher.
The Red Wings widened their lead in the third period when Emmitt Finnie scored at the four-minute mark. Jonathan Lekkerimaki added a goal for Vancouver at 10:37, finishing off a setup from Marco Rossi.
The win extended Detroit’s point streak to six games and improved the team’s record to 4-3-3. Goaltender John Gibson left after two periods with an upper-body injury, and Michal Postava was called up as an emergency earlier in the day to make his NHL debut, taking over in the third.
Detroit’s next game is a late-night matchup against the Calgary Flames on Saturday, with the Wings then visiting Edmonton before returning home to face the Chicago Blackhawks on Oct. 29.
