Mikko Koivu (ankle) hasn't skated with his teammates yet, but indications are that he'll ramp up his work efforts soon. He won't play Thursday and coach Mike Yeo said he won't rush Koivu back into the lineup. Koivu is running out of time if he wants to play before the Olympic break, as the Wild have three games remaining after tonight. He was optimistic about his chances of playing in the Winter Games with Finland earlier this month.
