Pius Suter proving to be good fit for Red Wings

Detroit — The description turned out to be fairly accurate — which, from the Red Wings' perspective, was fruitful.

Way back in training camp, when the Wings weren't sure what they were going to get from forward Pius Suter, coach Jeff Blashill was asked about Suter and what kind of player he'd be.

Detroit center Pius Suter has 14 goals this season, matching last season's total with the Blackhawks.

A free-agent signing last summer, Suter only had one year of NHL experience, having been an undrafted free agent before landing a roster spot in Chicago.

"He doesn’t have wow-you physical tools,” Blashill said of Suter.
