Finnie's two points Saturday more than tripled his 0.39 points a night average, and his six shots on goal quadrupled his 1.5 per night mark. He played 18:45, nearly three minutes above his 15:47 average. The center added three blocks and finished plus-one in the win.

Detroit plays three more times this week, on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. Finnie's underlying process score of 45 out of 100 among forwards suggests his production may not hold, but he makes for a streaming option in formats that value shots. He sees 1:26 of power-play time a night, 11th among all Red Wings skaters.

What to do

• Stream Finnie for Detroit's three games this week if you need shots and can tolerate inconsistent production.

• His 45 process grade suggests his scoring rate may regress toward his 0.39 points per game average.

• Monitor his ice time in the next game to see if the 18:45 holds or returns to his 15:47 baseline.
