Minnesota Wild: Can they shut down Alex Ovechkin this year?

The title ‘Wild Killer’ has been held by many players throughout the franchise history. Minnesota Wild hated rivals like Jarome Iginla, Joe Sakic, Mike Modano, Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin, among others. Perhaps the worst of all, luckily does not play the Minnesota more than twice a year.

Alex Ovechkin currently holds a tremendous 1.07 goals per game, along with an even scarier 1.79 points per game in fourteen career games against the Minnesota Wild. These are his best numbers against any of the 30 teams in the NHL he has played against.
