Rossi and Boldy: Minnesota's hockey hopes put to the test!

In an exciting duel, the Minnesota Wild defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 and thus retained their third place in the Western Conference. Vorarlberg native Marco Rossi once again demonstrated his skills by scoring the important equalizer to make it 1-1. This season, the 23-year-old has already collected an impressive 28 scorer points (12 goals, 16 assists) in 35 games. His teammates are thrilled with his performance. Matt Boldy praised Rossi and emphasized his crucial role: “He plays great, especially when it counts,” like that Laola1 reported.

Boldys under pressure

While Rossi shines, Matt Boldy, the Wild's 23-year-old winger, faces challenges. After a strong start to the season with 11 goals and 22 assists in the first 20 games, his performance has been fluctuating recently. Despite his fantastic skills, he has managed to score just one goal in the last eight matches, collecting a minus-7 rating on defense, as Hockey Wilderness notes. Joel Eriksson Ek's absence due to injury also negatively affected Boldy's game.

Wild fans will be hoping that Boldy can find his form again to provide crucial support to Minnesota in the remaining games this month. Rossi has proven he is establishing himself as a star player, while Boldy, who has great potential, needs to prove himself to live up to high expectations and form another superstar duo alongside Kirill Kaprizov.
