To explain the early season success of the Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota Wild, you don't have to go too far from the house of Jukka and Tuire Koivu in Turku, Finland.
Being the sons of hard-working parents -- a hockey coach and nurse -- Saku and Mikko clearly understood you have to work hard to achieve your dream. Now, both are leading their teams -- becoming the first brothers to be captains of their respective clubs since Brian (St. Louis) and Darryl Sutter (Chicago) from 1982 to '87.
Saku had goals in 3-straight games and 3 goals and 6 assists in 6 games to lead Montreal, while Mikko was leading Minnesota with 1 goal and 8 assists in 4 games.
