from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

"He doesn’t have wow-you physical tools,” Blashill said of Suter. “He doesn’t shoot it a million miles an hour; he doesn’t skate like crazy. He’s not super big. But he’s really heady, he’s really smart and he knows where to be.

“When I say smart, it’s both offensively and defensively. He’s good at both those sides. He knows how to play the game of hockey, and he’s efficient with the game."

There weren't many bright spots during Sunday's 6-1 loss to Florida, but Suter, arguably, provided one of the few.

Suter scored the Wings' lone goal, capping a nice passing play with linemates Jakub Vrana and Filip Zadina.

The goal was Suter's 14th, matching his total in Chicago. With 33 points, Suter surpassed the 27 he earned with the Blackhawks.
