The Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon is currently injured and so the coaches have had to juggle the defensive pairs a bit. The most current edition is as follows:
Ryan Suter - Matt Dumba
Marco Scandella - Nate Prosser
Jonas Brodin - Christian Folin
Ryan Suter is leading the team with just over 128 minutes of 5v5 ice-time through 7 games and in second place, surprisingly, is Matt Dumba at 114 minutes. That’s just 5v5! Even though Dumba is more of a power play guy than Suter, and even with special teams added Suter leads Dumba The gap goes from 14 minutes to 30 minutes.
