Finnigan's 8: Feb. 14, 2022

Finnigan's 8 is a weekly recap highlighting eight top performing Ottawa Senators prospects.

Ridly Greig (Brandon/WHL)Season totals: 28GP / 21G / 21A / 63PIM / +17
In three games this week, Greig tallied two goals and two assists as he helped the Wheat Kings go 1-1-1.
He notched a pair of goals Tuesday as Brandon beat Red Deer 3-1. He'd be held pointless Friday in a loss to Winnipeg before he had two assists Saturday as the Wheat Kings collected a point in overtime against Swift Current.
The Brandon captain has the fifth best points per game average in the WHL at 1.50 while he ranks third in penalty minutes per game with 2.25. The Wheat Kings sit sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 21-15-5 record.

Max Guenette (Belleville/AHL)Season totals: 28GP / 3G / 10A / 4PIM / -1
Guenette notched his third goal of the season Wednesday, and his third multi-point game of his AHL career, in Belleville's 5-0 win in Lehigh Valley.
He was pointless in the Senators 2-1 win over Wilkes-Barre on Friday but added his 10th assist of the season in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Hershey.
The Sens sit sixth in the North Division with a 19-19-0 record this season.
Filip Gustavsson (Belleville/AHL)Season totals: 6GP / 3-2-1 / 2.82 GAA / .901 save percentage
It was two starts and two wins this week for the Swedish netminder.
He recorded his first shutout of the season Wednesday as he stopped all 21 shots he faced against Lehigh Valley to record his third AHL shutout.
He'd then stop 31 of 32 shots Friday night as the Sens won 2-1 in Wilkes-Barre. The win also marked his 37th in the AHL that made him the winningest goaltender in Belleville history, surpassing Marcus Hogberg's previous record of 36 victories.
Oliver Johansson (Timra/J20 Nationell)Season totals: 23GP / 10G / 19A / 6PIM / -11
It was a monster week for Johansson as he totalled seven points over three games.
He scored a hat-trick, and added two assists, Wednesday as Timra beat Karlskrona 7-6 before he'd tally two more helpers as Timra lost 5-4 to Färjestad Friday. He was held pointless Sunday as Timra were beaten 8-1 by Södertälje.
His 29 points are the second most on the team while his 19 assists are tied for the team lead. Johansson has also played 14 games with Timra in the SHL where he has zero points.

Carson Latimer (Prince Albert/WHL)Season totals: 38GP / 10G / 16A / 12PIM / +6
Latimer snapped a mini three-game pointless streak Tuesday as he had a pair of assists as the Raiders beat Calgary 5-2.
He was pointless Friday in a 3-1 loss to Moose Jaw but scored his fourth goal with Prince Albert in a 3-2 win Saturday over Lethbridge.
In 20 games with the Raiders, Latimer has 18 points. Prince Albert sit 11th in the Eastern Conference but are just three points out of a playoff spot.

Leevi Merilainen (Kingston/OHL)Season totals: 35GP / 21-11-2 / 3.48 GAA / .888 save percentage
Merilainen suited up three times for the Fronts this week going 2-1-0 in the process. He stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Petes Wednesday and despite being scored on six times Friday, he collected the win as Kingston beat Mississauga 9-6.
He'd collect his second win of the week Sunday as he made an astonishing 53 saves, a new career high, in a 5-4 victory over the Bulldogs.
Merilainen's 21 wins are tied for the second most in the OHL while he ranks third in total saves with 946. Kingston continue to lead the East Division with a 26-12-3 record.
Zack Ostapchuk (Vancouver/WHL)Season totals: 37GP / 10G/ 14A / 41PIM / +/- 0
Ostapchuk helped lead Vancouver to a weekend sweep of Prince George and it started Friday night as he registered a career high three assists in a 4-1 victory.
He was held pointless the next night in a 3-1 win but Vancouver continues to sit in a playoff spot in the Western Conference despite a losing record. Ostapchuk's 24 points are the third most among active skaters on the Giants roster.
Ben Roger (Kingston/OHL)Season totals: 38GP / 1G / 8A / 28PIM / +14
After Kingston were beaten 3-1 by Peterborough Wednesday, Roger scored his first goal with the Fronts, and his first goal of the season, Friday in a wild 9-6 victory over Mississauga Saturday.
The 49th overall pick in 2021 would follow that up with an assist in the Frontenacs 5-4 win Sunday against Hamilton. Kingston's 26 wins this year are tied for the third most in the OHL.
