It’s hard to separate Ryan Suter and Jared Spurgeon from each other. When you talk about one of their seasons, recently it’s been an intertwining assessment of the Minnesota Wild’s top pairing and that’s alright.
Through this season, they have spent an overwhelmingly amount of time together on the ice at 5-on-5. Hardly separated, of Spurgeon’s 871 minutes in that situation, a total 728 was spent with Suter on his left. Only 10 pairings through the entire NHL this season spent more minutes together at evens, so yeah, that’s a lot of time next to each other.
