• Wild's Marco Rossi: Lights lamp twice in OT loss

  03/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Rossi scored two goals in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues. Both goals came in the second period as the Wild grabbed a 3-2 lead, only to see it slip away late. This performance snapped Rossi out of a slump that had seen the 22-year-old manage only one goal and two points over the prior 14 games, and his second tally Saturday gave him 20 on the season. If the Wild are going to move into a playoff spot over the final weeks of the regular season, they'll probably need Rossi to get hot.

  Rossi scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Kraken. Rossi tallied at 12:34 of the third period to double the Wild's lead to 2-0. The 22-year-old has three goals and two assists over his last six games. He was moved down to the second line, swapping places with Joel Eriksson Ek in a lineup shuffle Sunday. Rossi may benefit from the move if it gets some of the attention off of him and onto the top line. He's produced nine goals, seven assists, 51 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 26 appearances this season.

• Wild's Marco Rossi: Lights lamp twice in Sunday's win

  12/04/2023 • By RotoWire

  Rossi scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Chicago. In a matchup of top rookies, Rossi got the better of Connor Bedard as he potted Minnesota's first two goals of the game in the first period. Rossi's eight tallies on the season is second among rookies to Bedard's 11, and new head coach John Hynes has the 22-year-old skating on the Wild's top line between Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello. Rossi's 14 points in 22 contests is already solid, but he could take his production to another level if he hangs onto that assignment.
