Marco Rossi continues his run!
The 21-year-old from Vorarlberg is increasingly pushing for a permanent roster spot with the Minnesota Wild. After striking performances so far, the ÖEHV legionnaire is also in the spotlight in the NHL preseason game once morest the St. Louis Blues and can shine with two assists – despite the 2:4 defeat.
At the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, goals from Pavel Buchnevich (2′), Jake Neighbors (12’/PP) and Nathan Walker (31′) ensured a clear run of the game in favor of the home side. But Minnesota strikes back late but in the final third.
Mason Shaw shortened to 1:3 (47th), following an assist from Rossi. After the Blues made it 4:1 by Klim Kostin (54th), Tyson Jost put the final point to 2:4, also following the Austrian’s preliminary work. With 21:26 minutes of ice time, Rossi can also look forward to the second longest playing time of all Wild players.
Rossi still has other opportunities for self-promotion on Friday once morest the Chicago Blackhawks and on Sunday once morest the Dallas Stars. Then on Friday, October 14th, Minnesota will start the NHL season once morest the New York Rangers.
