Emmitt Finnie Turns in a Quiet, Steady Night in Shootout Loss
Two shots and no points for Finnie as Detroit falls in overtime/shootout at Montréal; his ice time matched season norms.
Emmitt Finnie played a quiet, serviceable game in Detroit's 1-0 overtime/shootout loss, finishing with no points. He skated 17:25 — a hair above his season average of 16.5 minutes per game — and took 21 shifts for the Red Wings. All of Finnie's two shots were split by strength: one at even strength and one on the power play. He logged zero hits, zero blocked shots and was charged with three giveaways and no takeaways. Season-to-date he has one goal and one point in five games with nine shots; through those five games his on-ice shot and chance numbers have leaned positive. In this matchup he didn't find the scoresheet and his counting stats were minimal, but his ice time — 17:25, ranking 10th among Detroit skaters and 7th among forwards — was in line with how the coaching staff has used him so far this season.
