Charlie Coyle is struggling. There’s no real way to sugar coat it. One of the Minnesota Wild’s most counted on forwards is having a hard time putting points on the board. Just like he has in the last two seasons previous, it seems that he’s encountering a second half slump of epic proportions after enjoying a very strong first half of the season.
Before entering tonight’s game in Tampa Bay, Coyle is pointless in his last nine contests. And to make matters worse he has also been scoreless in 15 of his last 20 games, so it’s not like this is just your run of the mill slump.
