I suspect more likely that Ryan got a lot of ice time and played up the lineup because Coach Peters’s options were really limited.

I agree with this. Plus this is very much a results based business. If a player is reliable, consistent, and produces then why would the coach not put them out. This is far from a player just taking minutes, it is a player given minutes because he has been effective.
