Finley was plucked off waivers from the Lightning early in the Olympic break, so he's had some time to prepare for his team debut. The 23-year-old forward has four points, 12 shots on net, 39 hits and 21 PIM over 23 appearances this season. Finley will likely settle into a rotational role in the bottom six for the Blues, giving him minimal fantasy value. |

Finley had two goals, three points, 21 PIM and 37 hits in 22 outings with Tampa Bay in 2025-26. The 23-year-old will be an option for a spot on the Blues' fourth line, but there's no guarantee that he'll be in the lineup when St. Louis' schedule resumes Feb. 26 versus Seattle. |
