Red Wings' Adam Erne: Finishes challenging season
Rotowire
Erne finished the season with eight goals and 10 assists through 61 games.
Erne wasn't involved on the power play in his fourth season with the Wings, but he averaged 1:37 on the penalty kill and amassed a career-high 55 blocked shots to go with 160 hits. Still, it wasn't the smoothest campaign for the American winger, as he was waived in February and returned to the AHL for the first time in five years, appearing in nine games for the Griffins. The 27-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Playing time decreasing
Rotowire
Erne hasn't played since Monday, as he's been rendered a healthy scratch the past two games.
Erne is losing playing time to Jonatan Berggren, a rookie who's being utilized on the No. 2 power-play unit. However, established winger Tyler Bertuzzi can't seem to stay healthy this campaign -- most recently, he left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury as a precaution -- and Erne is a logical choice to step in as necessary for Saturday's clash with the Flyers.

Rotowire
Erne scored in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.
Erne has points in back-to-back games as he continues to be a sneaky third-line producer. His current shooting percentage (16.7) is a career-best mark, but the limiting factors are that he's averaging only one shot per game and is disassociated from the power play.

Rotowire

Erne's offense has been limited this season with just two points in his previous eight contests while dishing out 23 hits, nine blocks and 10 shots.

Rotowire
Erne collected an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
Erne's shot skipped off the end boards, only for Michael Rasmussen to scoop it up and drive in an empty-net goal. As a bottom-six winger, Erne's production has naturally been a bit spotty, but he's registered two goals and seven assists for a career-best pace through 19 games.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Garners helper in preseason win
Rotowire
Erne produced an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
An industrious winger heading into his seventh NHL campaign, Erne should reprise his role on the fourth line. Last season, he netted six goals to complement 13 assists through 79 games. In general, there is an abundance of forwards to choose from in fantasy hockey, and Erne's scant role makes it likely that he gets passed over in most formats.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Shows up against former team
Rotowire
Erne registered a secondary assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Erne put forth a strong effort against the team that selected him in the second round (No. 33 overall) of the 2013 draft, but he's been inconsistent, and any hopes of him improving upon his career-best pace of 0.44 points per game from last season are dashed. Erne has four goals, 11 assists and a minus-21 rating through 64 games.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Not left out of barnburner
Rotowire
Erne produced an assist in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Maple Leafs.
This was only the second point for Erne in the last month, as he continues to struggle with his shot and lacks production on the power play, despite seeing time with the No. 2 unit. There were heightened expectations for the American winger after he potted 11 goals through 45 games last season, but that has proven to be an outlier between his six NHL campaigns. Erne has four goals and eight assists through 52 games in 2021-22.
