Mikko Koivu has collected five assists in Minnesota's first seven games this season. He hasn't scored a goal yet despite taking 14 shots. Koivu is great on faceoffs and he's always been a better playmaker than a finisher, so we wouldn't be concerned with his lack of goals. He should pick up plenty of helpers with Zach Parise as his winger this year and the goals will start to come eventually.
