“The 29-year-old has a goal and an assist through three games, but he’s also playing in all situations. Suter is second among Blues forwards in ice time on the penalty kill. He’s also averaged over two minutes of power-play time per game for a St. Louis team that splits time evenly between the first and second units.” Beggs said last week.

He later added, “They had that player right in their lap, and they let him walk. Now, Suter is making an early impact for the Blues. Not only that, but he’s playing more than Pettersson or Chytil are for the Canucks.”
