Mason Raymond News

Raymond cleared waivers which allows him to be sent back to the AHL after sitting as a healthy scratch on Thursday.

Raymond is a minus-2 with just three shots on goal while averaging just 9:34 TOI/GM through the first three games of the season. His placement on waivers will likely open up a roster spot for Emerson Etem to get into the lineup.

Raymond, 30, was with the Flames for the last two year, splitting the 2015-16 season between Calgary and Stockton (AHL). He had four goals and one assist in 29 NHL games and 15 points (6G / 9A) in 15 AHL contests. He is just a few years removed from a 45-point season with the Maple Leafs, so his two-way contract presents excellent value for the Ducks.

Raymond had one assist in the last four games, but he will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Flyers. Overall he has one goal, one assist and a minus-4 rating in nine games this season.

Raymond missed the season opener because of an undisclosed injury and despite being placed on waivers on Tuesday, he remains with the Flames and will play in the top six on Saturday.

Raymond was reportedly injured while blocking a shot in Saturday’s preseason game in Vancouver. Raymond did not participate in Flames’ practice on Monday, but was able to skate by himself after the session. His status for the Flames’ season opener is unclear.

Raymond missed the last three games to be with his wife for the birth of their child. He has arrived in Philadelphia and will be available for Tuesday’s game against the Flyers. Raymond has 11 goals and four assists (15 points) in 37 games this season.

Raymond who was with his wife during the birth of his new baby girl during last night’s game also won’t be back in New York in time for tomorrow’s game.

Coach Hartley said that he has not decided on who will play on the fourth line tonight, but based on the line rushes this morning, it looks like Brandon Bollig will be in and Raymond will be out. Consider him a game-time decision.

Raymond has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since October 25th, but it looks like he will be back in tomorrow vs. the Maple Leafs. Raymond is expected to skate on a line with Markus Granlund and Paul Byron in his return to the lineup.

Raymond missed his 16th straight game on Tuesday, but skated on a regular line in practice today. Despite that he still isn't available for tomorrow but is definitely getting close. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game.

Raymond, who was placed on IR this afternoon to make room for David Jones will likely miss at least one week. Week-to-week injury tags are extremely vague, so look for him to miss one week and be re-evaluated after that.

Raymond had already been ruled out for tonight's game, so the Flames have placed him on IR to make room for David Jones to be activated.

Raymond was not on the ice for Flames practice this morning and is expected to miss Tuesday's meeting with the Canadiens. Raymond is listed as day-to-day and expect David Jones to fill-in for Raymond tomorrow.

After scoring 19 goals with 26 assists while only making $1 million with Toronto last season, Raymond, 28, cashed in and singed a three-year deal with the Flames. Raymond has an abundance of speed and will help the Flames top-6 in 2014-15.

Raymond was shifted to the first line in the third period of Saturday's loss to the Bruins. The speedy winger remained on the top-line in Monday's practice so it appears he will play there on Wednesday vs. Minnesota. Raymond has five goals and six assists in 17 games.

Raymond had been with the Leafs on a PTO. Raymond will likely see time on the Leafs 3rd line.
