ESPN comments:
Apparently someone realized that to win the Selke Trophy -- which Mikko Koivu should have done last season -- you need to be an offensive force. To, you know, prove you're great defensively. Anyway, he has 20 points in 23 games, a rather torrid start offensively. He had 15 points at this juncture last season.
The biggest risers of the week are the Las Vegas Golden Knights, jumping eleven spots from #29 to #18. The biggest drops of the week belongs to the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, and Arizona Coyotes, plunging five spots each.
The Wild visit the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight (11/29) at Nationwide Arena.
