Mikko Koivu Named Captain for January

And once again, all is right with the world. After going 4-9-1 under Kim Johnsson's captaincy, the Wild braintrust pulled their heads from their collective behinds and put the C back where it belongs, Mikko Koivu's sweater.

Here's hoping it turns around in a hurry.

Mikko Koivu

#9 / Center / Minnesota Wild

Height: 6-2

Weight: 200

Born: Mar 12, 1983

Goals: 11

Assists: 26

Points: 37

+/-: 3

PIM: 32

So, looks like January could be a rough month, what with the Gaborik situation, the way the team has been playing lately and a bit of a difficult schedule this month.

I'm predicting 6-6-2. What do you think?
