‘Ristolainen played 23 minutes, 17 seconds in the season opener against Montreal, 26:43 in Sunday’s win in Edmonton and 26:04 in Tuesday’s overtime loss in Calgary. Coach Dan Bylsma said over the summer he was hoping to cut back on some of Ristolainen’s minutes this season. Bylsma laughed when reminded about that Wednesday and admitted it’s been no dice in that area so far.’
