Ryan Suter may be in for a long night, at least if the first period of the Minnesota Wild - Buffalo Sabres game is any indication.
Suter logged 11 minutes of ice time in that opening frame after fellow defenseman Marco Scandella suffered a lower-body injury. The Wild aren’t certain if he’ll be able to come back in the game.
Onlookers believe that Scandella got hurt while he was tangled up with Nicolas Deslauriers of the Sabres.
Scandella is averaging a little under 20 minutes per game so far this season, so the Wild have to hope that this is just a minor issue.
Update: After Minnesota’s 4-0 win, Bruce Boudreau said he expects to know more about Scandella’s condition on Friday.
