Now getting to see Raymond through eight games and daily practices, McLellan is understanding how good a player Raymond is, and can be in the future.

Raymond scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-1 in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Raymond recorded his fifth power-play goal of the campaign at 14:12 of the middle frame, but that was all Andrei Vasilevskiy would allow on a night in which Detroit almost doubled up Tampa Bay in shots on goal.

That ended the Red Wings' seven-game winning streak that began Dec. 29, halting the progress the Wings (20-19-4) had made in climbing closer to the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Nico Sturm scored a short-handed goal, and Jan Rutta, Mikael Granlund, Tyler Toffoli and Mario Ferraro added goals for San Jose, which snapped a three-game losing streak.

Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's three-goal, second-period outburst over a 3:42 span as the host Lightning cooled off the torrid Detroit Red Wings, 5-1, on Saturday night.

The Red Wings got on the scoreboard with a power-play one-timer from Lucas Raymond late in period two. Raddysh’s power-play goal from the top of the setup extended the Lightning lead on a play in which Kucherov earned his 600th NHL assist.

Seider was arguably the Red Wings' best player last night. In addition to leading the team in ice time and tied for most shots, he threw a whopping eight hits. Marco Kasper and Michael Rasmussen were the next highest with three each. The entire team threw 23 hits, with these three players recording 14 of those hits.

Kucherov wowed the crowd early in the second period when he pulled the puck to his backhand to dance around Patrick Kane and past Alex DeBrincat to get to the slot. Kucherov then lifted a wrist shot over Talbot at 1:50 to give Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead.
