Suter was a plus-2 and had 29:12 of ice time in Saturday's win over Colorado. He skated in a defensemen pairing with Jared Spurgeon. With Marco Scandella back after missing time due to injury, head coach Mike Yeo said he'd like to reduce Suter's ice time, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The Wild always talk about reducing Suter's minutes (he's led the league in ice time the last three seasons), but it never seems to happen. Still, Suter averaged over 30 minutes the last nine games with several defensmen hurt, so he could see a slight decrease.
