The Minnesota Wild are a club that the Edmonton Oilers have had trouble beating for years, despite their current success in the NHL, which has them just outside the top ten teams in the league.
The Oilers have lost seven straight games to the Minnesota Wild until breaking the run last night, defeating Minnesota by a score of 5-2. The Wild are now outside of a playoff spot, but they still give the Oilers a rough time whenever the two teams meet off.
