Wild coach Mike Yeo has elected to keep Mikko Koivu (shoulder) out of tonight's game at Columbus. There was some hope the captain would return for tonight's game, but Yeo opted to hold him back with Thursday's home date against Vancouver the target. Tonight's match will mark the eighth Koivu will have missed with his shoulder ailment. He is still the team's second-leading scorer with 33 points and leads with 24 assists.
