Mikko Koivu has a bad digit

Looks like 3 weeks minimum on the shelf...

The team expects to learn more Monday regarding the status of its captain, but according to multiple sources, Koivu has a broken left index finger that might require surgery.

Koivu will be seen Monday by a hand specialist in order to find out if there’s damage beyond what’s simply shown on X-ray and to determine the best course of treatment.

The early word, sources said, is that Koivu will miss at least three weeks. If he undergoes surgery, sources said he should still return before the regular season ends.

They better hope it's before the regular season ends.

Given that the Wild are struggling to have anything more than a regular season, losing him long-term could be killer.

Time for Havlat to step it up I guess.

The Ducks strike again. First Hamhuis & now Koivu. Who's next on the hit list is anybody's guess.
