Wild's Marco Rossi: Game taking another step forward
Marco Rossi scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary.Rossi was Mr. Clutch, scoring a five-hole goal with 34 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. He's taken the next step this season after putting up 40 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. So far, Rossi has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) and 37 shots in 20 appearances this campaign, and he's starting to contribute on the power play.
