One of the stars of the preseason for the Detriot Red Wings was Emmitt Finnie. In seven games he racked up two goals and two assists for four points. This performance was good enough not just to make the Red Wings roster, but to earn a spot on the top line. This caused a lot of excitement among fans about a potential break out season from the former seventh round pick.
But just six games into the season, he has surpassed everyone wildest expectation. He has registered two goals and three assists for five points. Not only is he making an impact on offense but on defense too.
