Well… the unthinkable has happened. With four games remaining in the Wild’s regular season schedule, Minnesota has lost one of the two guys that it couldn’t afford to lose, and we may not see him again during this campaign.
Ryan Suter is now on the shelf with an apparent broken fibula, as he follows Jared Spurgeon and Gustav Olofsson into the infirmary. With three defensemen suddenly injured, Minnesota’s previously deep blueline now looks quite thin, as half of the defensive corps is now made up of guys that spent a significant portion of the season in the AHL.
