Koivu scored the game-winning goal -- a power-play marker -- in Monday's 5-3 victory over Dallas in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

What a time for the 33-year-old to break out of his 10-game goal drought. Captain Koivu had received plenty of ice time in the series' first two games (19:29 and 20:02) but like most of the Wild players, had nothing to show for it. Koivu hasn't been quite as productive in his playoff career (0.43 points per game in 42 contests) as in the regular season (0.73 in 763), but he's still a key cog in the Wild attack and will be relied upon further with Game 4 approaching Wednesday.
