Lucas Raymond helped Detroit beat Edmonton with two assists, then scored without an assist in the win over Chicago. His one-point line accepts either kind of night—useful flexibility if you’re backing the Red Wings against St. Louis.
Starting with a hypothetical Detroit win over St. Louis, these Red Wings parlay picks compare Raymond recording a point, Alex DeBrincat taking two shots on goal and Pavel Buchnevich finishing without an assist. The useful distinction is what each target allows: a goal or an assist for Raymond, a two-shot night for DeBrincat, or a Buchnevich goal that comes without a credited assist.
Red Wings parlay picks: three supporting choices
The records cover completed current-team appearances from October 1, 2025 through October 30, 2026, including postseason games. Raymond and DeBrincat are measured in Detroit wins, Buchnevich in St. Louis losses, with matching dates, club and participation rules for the all-game comparisons. These historical rates aren’t probabilities for today. Individual DraftKings prices were checked on October 31 and can change.

Lucas Raymond: 1+ point at −175
Raymond’s latest two wins show why the point target is broader than an assist-only bet. The Edmonton game brought two assists in 21:12. Against Chicago, he scored once without an assist in 18:49. You don’t have to choose which contribution will get him on the scoresheet.
One assist was available at +110, compared with −175 for a point. That larger payout comes with a narrower requirement: an assist cleared in 28 of the 45 Detroit wins, while a point covered ten more. Those extra games were wins where Raymond scored without an assist, just as he did against Chicago.
His early season has been less consistent than the longer winning-game record suggests. He has a point in four of Detroit’s six wins and six of his 13 appearances overall. In the San Jose win, he finished without a point despite 20:02 of ice time and 4:35 on the power play. Recent production is encouraging, but it hasn’t been there every night.
St. Louis has supplied both outcomes too. Raymond had two assists in one Detroit win over the Blues last October and no points in the other, even as Detroit scored six. A productive team night doesn’t always include him.
He’s expected on the second line with Andrew Copp and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. With Dylan Larkin and Marco Kasper on injured reserve, Detroit’s forward lineup is unsettled. Raymond’s current average of about 20½ minutes is above his older Detroit average of roughly 19, giving him opportunity without guaranteeing a point.
Alex DeBrincat: 2+ shots on goal at −650
DeBrincat has reached two shots in all six Detroit wins this season and 12 of 13 appearances overall. The target has been similarly common across all his games and in wins over the longer window, so there’s little reason to treat a Red Wings win as an extra boost to the shot prop.
The choice here is how much room you want to pay for. Three shots was −210, a larger payout than two at −650. It cleared in 35 of the 47 Detroit wins, five fewer than the lower target. Those five games ended at exactly two shots.
The recent Edmonton win is one of them. DeBrincat took two shots in 19:28, with 3:41 on the power play, and added an assist. That was enough for the selected line, but not the three-shot alternative. His next game against Chicago brought four shots in 18 minutes.
He’s expected on the first line with Emmitt Finnie and Viktor Arvidsson, and his current average is about 20 minutes. Still, a February win over Ottawa ended with one shot in 19:15. Regular ice time doesn’t turn the low target into a certainty.
At −650, the payout is small. This option makes sense only if keeping those two-shot nights matters more to you than the bigger return available at three. It isn’t a reason to add a leg automatically.
Pavel Buchnevich: under 0.5 assists at −295
Buchnevich can score and this under can still clear. It requires zero assists, while his under 0.5 points at −155 also requires him not to score. The assist under’s smaller payout buys room for a goal of his own.
One of last October’s Detroit meetings shows the difference directly. Buchnevich scored without an assist in a 6–4 St. Louis loss, playing 18:42 with 4:01 on the power play. The assist under would have cleared; the points under would have lost. Seven Blues losses in this window had that goal-without-an-assist result.
He has no assists in five of the six St. Louis losses in which he appeared this season, and ten of his 12 appearances overall. His recent Montreal loss included three shots and 21:57 of ice time, but no assist. He then went without a point in 15:55 during the Boston win.
There’s a clear losing-game counterexample as well. Buchnevich recorded an assist in the opening Chicago loss while playing 17:43, with only 58 seconds on the power play. One credited pass is enough to beat the under, regardless of the final score.
He’s expected on the second line with Mason McTavish and Jonatan Berggren, and his current average remains close to his older St. Louis workload at about 18 minutes. The longer losing-game rate is just above 80%, making −295 a price to weigh carefully. The benefit is allowing a goal of his own; it doesn’t remove his opportunity to create one for a teammate.
Match the contribution to your Detroit view
Raymond’s broader point target covered ten Detroit wins that an assist alone would have missed. DeBrincat’s two shots kept five winning clears that three would have lost. Buchnevich’s assist under kept seven losing-game clears that a points under would have lost. Compare those allowances with their smaller payouts; the separate rates don’t establish a combined chance of clearing.
