Raymond scores late in 3rd and OT to keep Red Wings playoffs alive with 5-4 win over Canadiens

Lucas Raymond scored with 25 seconds left in overtime after tying it with 1:17 remaining in regulation, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 comeback win over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night that keeps their playoff hopes alive. “All tonight did is give us an opportunity,” said J.T. Compher, who scored two goals for Detroit to cut into deficits. The Red Wings will make the playoffs if they win at Montreal and Washington loses at Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said his team has surpassed preseason expectations, putting it in a position to earn a spot in the playoffs on the final game of the regular season.
