Through 6 games for the Minnesota Wild this year, Nick Seeler has averaged only 12:48 time on ice per game. Topping out nearly 15 minutes in the shootout loss to Vegas, and bottoming at just over 11 minutes in the overtime loss to Carolina.
Part of this can be written off as Seeler playing limited penalty kill minutes against Carolina, but regardless of that this isn’t a one time event. Nick Seeler is only averaging 12 minutes per game, because he is only playing 12 minutes in more games than not.
Meanwhile, Ryan Suter is chugging away with more than 25 minutes in nearly every game this season, the only exception was his 23:34 in the win against Arizona.
