Special teams shares the blame for slumping Wild

Related Topics: Devan Dubnyk, Jason Pominville

So the Wild are in a bit of a pickle these days. The analysis is in, they suck. Having dropped 5 straight games, a lot of blame is getting tossed around the room. Defense is leaking like a sieve, Devan Dubnyk is over-worked and just plain exhausted, and while Mikael Granlund is electric (#80in17) and Eric Staal has started to find his game again, Jason Pominville and Charlie Coyle have been slumping down the stretch and much of the lineup is playing streaky hockey.

For one reason or another, this team is in shambles right now.
