Once again it’s an election year and two Minnesota Wild players need your vote. For the second-straight year, Mikko Koivu and Niklas Backstrom will represent the State of Hockey in the EA SPORTS NHL 14 Cover Vote.

Fans will pick the player on the cover of next season’s EA SPORTS NHL 14. The fan vote is hosted exclusively on NHL.com. A field of 60 players will be narrowed down to just one being the cover boy of NHL 14.
