Koivu (illness) had just one shot on goal in 18:45 of ice time in Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay. Koivu missed the third period of Thursday's game due to the illness, but looks like he's back to full speed.

Held out of Friday's practice with the illness, Koivu's full participation in morning skate seems to verify his presence in the lineup Saturday night.

Koivu (illness) missed Friday's practice, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Koivu was feeling ill toward the end of Thursday's win over the Flyers, so the team is likely just giving him some rest with the hope that he'll be good to go in time for Saturday's game against the Lightning. The team should have an update on his condition following their morning skate Saturday.

Koivu was dealing with an illness following Thursday's game against the Flyers, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports. The Wild have a bout of mumps flying around the locker room, but that reportedly doesn't appear to be the case with Koivu.

Koivu had four shots on goal in 19:12 of ice time in Tuesday's loss to New Jersey, but did not register a point for the fourth consecutive game.

Koivu didn't have a shot on goal or assist, but had one blocked shot in Tuesday's win over Boston. He skated on a new line with Jason Zucker and Charlie Coyle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. The Wild broke up the line that featured Koivu and Thomas Vanek with both players off to a slow start. It didn't end Koivu's slow start (he has just one point in eight games), but perhaps he'll find better chemistry with his new line.
