How do you stop arguably the best player on the planet?
Finding the answer to that question will fall on the shoulders of the Winnipeg Jets’ top line of Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler when they take on the Washington Capitals Saturday (2 p.m., Sportsnet, TSN1290). Their task: to shut down forward Alexander Ovechkin, who along with centre Nicklas Backstrom and winger T.J. Oshie make up one of the most dynamic forward lines in the NHL.
"On transition, he’s one of the best in the game (and) off the rush he’s so dangerous," said Ladd, following practice at the MTS Iceplex Friday.
