Slump be damned! The Minnesota Wild will still make the playoffs

There's not a lot of good feelings among Minnesota Wild fans right now. The hometown club is mired in a brutal 3-7-2 slump for the month of January. They've not only been terrible at controlling play, they've been a complete non-threat on the power play, scoring just two goals with the man advantage in 2016. The Colorado Avalanche just passed them in the standings, and the Nashville Predators are just two points away from pushing the Wild out of the playoff bubble.

Needless to say, Wild fans are really nervous about their team's annual mid-season slump.
