With the exception of the Boston game, the last six games have been some of the worst for the Wild when it comes to giving up shot attempts. For a visual, here's the Fenwick for and against chart from the entire year.
As you can see, games are starting to pile up in the upper left side, which is not what you want. So yes, goaltending is an issue. Every goalie, even the elite ones go through slumps. It's the elite teams that are able to overcome these slumps. Had the Wild been able to keep up the pressure last night after Coyle's goal, there's no reason why they shouldn't have won the game.
