Ryan Suter, for years has led the Minnesota Wild in ice-time. He’s relied upon to face up with the toughest competition and still produce points. Of late, it seems Matt Dumba has been earning more and more trust in the eyes of head coach, Bruce Boudreau.
This season thus far, Ryan Suter leads the Minnesota Wild team with an average time on ice of 26:01. That is followed directly by Matt Dumba, who clocks 24:16.
Now, one of those players is 33, the other is 24. You’d surely expect the younger guy to be taking the majority of time, but instead it’s the veteran that ranks highest.
