Minnesota Wild celebrates fifth win: Rossi shines with four assists!

In a thrilling duel, the Minnesota Wild triumphed over the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2. The 23-year-old Marco Rossi shone with an impressive performance and prepared four goals that secured the Wild's victory. Rossi, who already has 15 goals and 22 assists this season, has been praised for his growing confidence after scoring more goals in recent games. “Today during the warm-up, Zuuccie told me to pass more,” noted Rossi, who particularly benefits from working with Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy. While Zuccarello scored two goals and provided an assist, Boldy also contributed a goal and two assists. This positive result is particularly noticeable since the team had to do without injured stars Kirill Kaprisow and Jared Spurgeon vorarlberg.orf.at reported.

The Hurricanes are extremely poor in form

The Minnesota Wild not only managed their fifth win in their last six games, but also proved that they are strong despite the injuries to their key players. Goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson was in top form, stopping 21 shots for the Hurricanes, who were criticized by their coach Rod Brind'Amour for their inconsistency. “Consistency was the big problem for our group,” admitted Brind’Amour. The Hurricanes have won just two of their last six games and are struggling with their identity. A weak performance that drops the season's record to 23-14-2, while Minnesota remains on the fast track at 25-11-4 nhl.com analyzed.

The Wild started the game with strong defense and didn't give the Hurricanes many chances during a double time penalty. “You can gain a lot of momentum from situations like that,” explained defenseman Zach Bogosian. With that determination and Rossi's performance, Minnesota could be well on its way to continued success in the next few games.
