Great news for Marco Rossi. The Vorarlberger could celebrate his return to the National Hockey League (NHL). The ÖEHV talent is currently playing in the second division of the American Hockey League (AHL) for the farm team, the Iowa Wild. The Minnesota Wild were able to fix the playoffs in the NHL.
But center Joel Eriksson-Ek’s injury is a major setback. The Swede is suffering from a lower body injury and will be out for weeks. After compatriot Gustav Nyquist, it is the second long-term failure of the Wild. The Minnesota Wild take on the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night.
In the night from Saturday to Sunday, Rossi could already be in the NHL squad. General Manager Bill Guerin hinted at this to KFAN Radio. The Austrian mega talent has been in top form in the AHL for the Iowa Wild for weeks. In his last 13 games, he has scored six goals and provided 12 assists. On the night of Saturday, Marco Rossi and Iowa Wild suffered a 4-1 defeat against the Chicago Wolves. After all, the Rankweiler was able to contribute the assist to the only goal.
Marco Rossi has already played 18 games in the NHL across seasons. However, he still has to wait for his first goal in the best ice hockey league in the world. In November, Rossi was sent to the AHL by the Minnesota Wild. Previously, Rossi was not in the Wild squad four times in a row.
