Over the course of the 2016-17 season, the New York Rangers have been nothing short of remarkable against Western Conference teams. Their 21-6-0 record against the West is tops in the Eastern Conference.
But one of those six losses came at the hands of the Minnesota Wild, a 7-4 drubbing back in December. Since then, the Rangers edged the Wild in a 3-2 decision on March 18.
The Wild are a bit of an enigma as the season winds down. Once appearing to run away with the Western Conference, the Wild are now mired in a terrible stretch.
