Koivu delivered a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues, though it wasn't enough, and the Wild have been eliminated from the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

It was too little, too late for the Finnish captain, who empties his locker with the Wild failing to make it past the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year. Koivu only managed two points in the five-game series, and he was held in check completely in Games 2-4. It will be a contract year for Koivu in 2017-18, as he cashes out the balance of a seven-year, $47.25 million deal before becoming an unrestricted free agent.

Koivu (rest) will get the night off Thursday against Colorado, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild don't really have anything to play for as they are locked in as the No. 2 in the Central Division. As such, Minnesota will rest the veteran Koivu in order to get him ready to go for the playoffs.

Koivu recorded four PIM with three shots and a block in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Koivu has committed five penalties over the past three games, though they were all of the minor variety. Otherwise, the crafty pivot is heading for a strong finish to the regular season with four assists in the past five games.

Koivu registered a pair of power-play assists in Tuesday's 5-3 home loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota converted on both of its man-advantage opportunities, but Chicago overwhelmed in this divisional battle thanks in large part to captain Jonathan Toews collecting five points on the evening. As for Koivu, he needs just one more assist to reach at least 30 for the fourth consecutive season, with more than half of those setups (16) taking place on the man advantage. Amazingly, the veteran has four two-point efforts in his past five contests.

Koivu collected two assists -- one on the power play -- during Thursday's win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

In the midst of a throwback season, Koivu's up to 16 goals and 42 points through 56 games. He's clicked with Jason Zucker and Mikael Granlund, and the trio has is the second-highest scoring line in the league with 32 goals. While Koivu is a solid supporting piece in the majority of seasonal leagues, it wouldn't be surprising to see him slow down offensively.

Koivu tabbed two assists in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-game stretch with an uncharacteristic absence from the box score, Koivu notched two assists Sunday. This kind of production is normal for the captain, especially while averaging 18:11 TOI in six February games. Koivu has also been punching considerable power-play ice time, which is complemented by converting 17.6 percent of his shot attempts -- making himself even more valuable to his fantasy owners lately.

Koivu scored his 16th goal of the season and had an assist in Saturday's win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Koivu's strong season is exemplified by the fact he is now just one goal away from matching his entire goal output in 2015-16. The second-line center continues to be a consistent fantasy threat with three goals and five points in his last five games. Koivu's stable production already makes him a fantasy asset, but his plus-30 rating and key role on the top team in the Western Conference makes him an automatic roll every night.

Koivu picked up a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Koivu missed Sunday's game due to a bout with the flu, but he picked up right where he left off. He has five goals with 10 points in 10 games in January, tying a season-high for goals in a month. The Finn remains on pace for 70 points which would be just one point short of his career high set in the 2009-10 season.

Koivu will return to Minnesota's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Stars, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koivu will return to a top-six role Tuesday, centering Jason Zucker and Mikael Granlund on the Wild's second line, and should also see time on his team's second power-play unit against Dallas. The veteran pivot has played well this season, notching 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) while maintaining a superb plus-24 rating over 45 games, making him a valuable commodity in all fantasy formats.

Koivu (flu) made the trip with the team to Dallas, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild's captain was a last-minute scratch for Sunday's tilt with the Predators due to the illness. The fact that he traveled with the team -- especially since it's a one-game road trip -- indicates that he should be able to suit up against the Stars on Tuesday. If Koivu isn't able to suit up again, the recently recalled Christoph Bertschy would likely draw into the lineup.
