from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Pius Suter wanted to give back to the man who picked him off the free agent pile, to show it was a smart investment.
He already played his former teammates when the Detroit Red Wings went into Chicago Oct. 24, but that was near the start of the season. The Blackhawks make their appearance at Little Caesars Arena Wednesday, at the halfway point of the season, meaning Suter has had time to reinforce general manager Steve Yzerman's decision to sign him.
Suter became an unrestricted free agent last summer when the Blackhawks decided not to keep him even after a very good rookie season; 14 goals among 27 points in 55 games.
