After eight games the top scorer for the Minnesota Wild isn’t exactly who you’d think. Before the season started the big money would have been on names from the forward corps like Staal, Parise, Koivu, or Coyle but none of them are at the top of the Wild’s season scoresheet.
At the conclusion of tonight’s tilt in Buffalo the Wild’s leading scorer is (drumroll please)…Ryan Suter. Yes, the normally defensive minded and not known for scoring defensemen Suter is not only leading the team in points, he’s leading by two points over the top forwards of Staal and Coyle.
