Koivu contributed a late goal to accompany an assist in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

It was really just garbage time by the time Koivu padded his stats with his 16th goal at 15:55 of the third period, but hey, they all count. The points snapped a three-game skid for the veteran pivot, and with 48 now, he's matched last season's total in nine fewer games. There's no reason the 33-year-old shouldn't remain a solid complementary scorer for a few more years yet.
