Biography
| Saku Koivu was drafted by Montreal in the 1st round of 1993 (21st overall). Just 2 years later, in 1995, he made his NHL debut at the ripe age of 20. He has always been a consistent point producer, but injuries have set him back on a yearly basis. But Koivu would’ve preferred any injury to what happened to him in 2002, when he was diagnosed with cancer. Many wrote his season off, but he managed to return for the final 3 games of the regular season, and led the Canadiens in playoff scoring. Entering 2004-05, the Canadiens captain is just 2 points shy of 400 for his career. |
