Lucas Raymond rescued the Detroit Red Wings from the brink of elimination.Their goal of ending a seven-year playoff drought remains alive heading into the regular-season finale, but they still need another win, plus some help.Detroit rallied from a three-goal deficit to record a 5-4 victory in overtime against the visiting Montreal Canadiens on Monday.The same teams will match up again, this time in Montreal, on Tuesday night.Raymond scored the tying goal with 1:17 remaining in regulation and tallied 4:35 into overtime off a feed from team captain Dylan Larkin.The Red Wings (40-32-9, 89 points) are among four teams — Washington, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are the others — battling for the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference. However, Detroit doesn’t control its own destiny.There are two scenarios in which the Red Wings would gain entry into the playoffs. They need to defeat the Canadiens again, while Washington needs to lose to Philadelphia in regulation or overtime on Tuesday.Alternatively, the Wings could lose to Montreal in overtime and still make the playoffs if Washington loses in regulation and Pittsburgh falls to the New York Islanders on Wednesday.”All tonight did is give us an opportunity,” Detroit center J.T. Compher said. “All this did was give us a chance to finish the job.”Detroit’s hopes of playing a meaningful game on Tuesday seemed dim when it trailed 4-1 late in the second period.”I think they had five serious chances in the first two periods, and four of them went in,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said.Compher scored his second goal of the game to cut the Canadiens’ lead to 4-2. Alex DeBrincat scored his 27th goal of the season to make it 4-3 midway into the third period.Raymond, the fourth pick of the 2020 NHL Draft, has been the team’s top threat this month. He has seven goals and four assists in seven games.The third-year forward now has a career-best 31 goals and leads the team with 71 points.
