Minnesota Wild celebrate 4-0 win – Rossi with a strong performance!

The Minnesota Wild earned an impressive 4-0 road win over the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL on Saturday, securing their third straight victory. Marco Rossi, the young star from Vorarlberg, was once again the playmaker and shone with four assists, an outstanding performance that earned him 37 scorer points this season (15 goals, 22 assists). In the first period, Mats Zuccarello made it 1-0 (14th), followed by Joel Eriksson Ek, who scored the power play goal in the second period to make it 2-0 (32nd). Further goals from Matt Boldy (50th) and a second goal from Zuccarello (58th) ensured the clear final score. This dominance is no coincidence: the team has catapulted itself to third place in the Western Conference.

Rossi shows his strengths

His development is particularly notable as he has managed to score eight points (three goals, five assists) in the last three games, despite the absence of leading scorer Kirill Kaprizov due to injury. Rossi commented on the chemistry within the team, noting that each player brings unique strengths and that he has also been scoring more often recently. This came after Zuccarello's advice to pass more during warm-ups.

On the Hurricanes side, Pyotr Kochetkov was heavily challenged and saved 23 shots, but the home team's offense seemed harmless throughout the game. Despite the individual class in their squad, Carolina failed to consistently implement their style of play. Coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the team urgently needs to work on its identity in order to be more successful.
