Finnie Logs a Scoreless Shift Count in Detroit's Win at Tampa
The Red Wings snapped a five-game skid on Tampa's home ice, with Finnie contributing everywhere but the scoresheet.
Emmitt Finnie did not reach the scoresheet in Detroit's 2-0 win at Tampa Bay, but it was a full night of work for the forward. The Red Wings ended a five-game losing streak and handed the Lightning their first home loss of the season.
Finnie played 19:23 over 23 shifts, fifth among Detroit's 18 skaters and second among the team's 12 forwards. He put two shots on goal, with four shot attempts in all, and blocked one shot. All of his production came at even strength, and it was a blank: no goals, no assists, and a plus/minus of 0.
The bumps: two giveaways and two penalty minutes.
This was a quieter night than his season norm suggests. He has 7 goals and 4 assists in 21 games, and he averages 18.6 minutes, so 19:23 was slightly above his usual. He finished without a point, but the team got the result it badly needed.
