Mikko Koivu is projected to play between Dany Heatley and Charlie Coyle in his return to action on Monday. That means that Mikael Granlund will retain his spot alongside Zach Parise for now. However, Koivu could still end up seeing time with Parise at some point down the line. "Very excited," said Koivu regarding his return. "It's been a long wait. Kinda frustrating all the time after the [Jan. 6] surgery. Very excited. Little bit nervous, but that's part of the step to take to the game. It'll be fun."
