Wild Team Report
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:00:08 PST)
The Wild is a defensive juggernaut these days as it returns to Minnesota for a season-long five-game homestand.
The latest shutdown came in Pittsburgh during a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins on Tuesday night. The Wild has surrendered 31 goals in 16 games (1.94 a game).
"They've got two of the top five players in the world," said defenseman Kim Johnsson, who played 29 minutes, 56 seconds, referring to Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. "When you play well against them, you feel good. As a whole team, we played really strong against them. We gave them no time with the puck."
The problem is, the Wild can't score.
