Late in the second period, Detroit capitalized on a Wild turnover to take a 2-1 lead. Marcus Johansson's pass hit the skate of Detroit's Marco Kasper and the puck deflected to Raymond alone in front of the net. He beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot for his second goal of the night and 17th of the season.
