Dallas Stars defenseman Ryan Suter logged an assist on both of the team's goals in Sunday's Game 2 against Vegas but also made a costly mistake in a 3-2 overtime loss. With 2:22 left in regulation and the Stars 2-1 up, Suter gave away the puck with a bad pass that directly led to Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal. It was a horrible finish to a historic outing as Suter became the oldest defenseman in franchise history with a multi-point game in the playoffs. He also had two hits in the contest with one shot on goal and one block while logging 24:56 action. Suter will want to make up for his mistake in Game 3, but another big offensive contribution isn't likely from him, as the veteran blue-liner has posted only five points in this year's 15 postseason games.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Suter scored a game-tying goal with two seconds left in regulation Saturday night vs. the Kings, adding an assist in an eventual 4-3 overtime victory. Marcus Johansson produced the game-winner with his first strike in Wild colors. Matt Dumba and Joel Eriksson Ek also scored for Minnesota, who entered the third period trailing by two goals. Suter logged a team-high 24:07 in the contest and he finished the game with six shots on goal. The veteran defenseman is off to a nice start to the season with three points through two games. He's been a solid 40-50-point guy for years and should be able to produce similar numbers in 2020-21.
