Marco Rossi Fantasy Stats

Center Marco Rossi (lower body) became a member of the Vancouver Canucks on Friday after the Minnesota Wild traded him in a deal to acquire defenseman Quinn Hughes. Rossi was on track to return from a lower-body injury on Sunday against the Boston Bruins. Instead, he will head across the border and be part of a new group going forward. Injuries have limited Rossi to only 17 appearances this season. He has recorded four goals and nine assists. The former top-10 draft pick had a breakthrough campaign in 2024-25, notching 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) in 82 outings. In Vancouver, Rossi will land in the top six and should see plenty of power-play time. However, this move negatively impacts his fantasy value, as Rossi now joins the league's worst team -- one that averages the sixth-fewest goals in the NHL.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) is considered week-to-week and was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. He is dealing with a lingering lower-body injury. "Something that was bothering him a little bit and started to get a little bit worse and now he's out," Wild head coach John Hynes said about Rossi's injury on Friday. Recently, Rossi has struggled to make an offensive impact, going scoreless in four of the past five games. In total, he has amassed 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 17 appearances. Ryan Hartman is set to take over first-line center duties on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks. The move up in the lineup will increase Hartman's fantasy value, although his work on the offensive end has left a lot to be desired. In 18 outings, Hartman has recorded six points (four goals and two assists), with none in his last five appearances.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday versus the New Jersey Devils. He has made a quick recovery from a lower-body injury, which kept Rossi sidelined on Monday against the New York Rangers. The talented Austrian forward has posted five points (one goal, four assists) in six appearances this season. On Wednesday, Rossi is expected to center Minnesota's second line, with Marcus Johansson and Vladimir Tarasenko on his wings.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) will exit the lineup for Monday's tilt against the New York Rangers. He suffered a lower-body injury while blocking a shot in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Working as the top-line center, Rossi has amassed five points (one goal, four assists) in six games this season. Monday will mark his first absence in three seasons. Joel Eriksson Ek is expected to replace Rossi on the first line against the Rangers, with Ryan Hartman set to skate as the second-line center. Eriksson Ek has scored all four of his points this season on the power play. He is now better positioned to contribute during even-strength situations, as he joins forces with Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, who have already combined for 18 points in six games.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi has signed a three-year bridge deal worth $15 million. The talented Austrian native was a restricted free agent following the completion of his entry-level contract. Rossi ranked second in scoring on the Wild squad last season with 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) in 82 games. His numbers improved significantly in all areas despite a late-season slump. At 23 years old, Rossi can only get better and could soon be a point-per-game player in Minnesota. "He's shown steady progress. He went through a lot as a young player," Wild general manager Bill Guerin said. "He's just kind of scratching the surface, and I think this three-year contract really gives him a good runway to be the player he can be."

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) is expected to be available on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. In Wednesday's clash against the Seattle Kraken, he logged just 3:00 of ice time before exiting the game after being hit by a puck. Rossi returned to practice on Friday, which strongly suggests he will be in the lineup against Buffalo. The 23-year-old serves as Minnesota's first-line center but has been offensively quiet lately. In nine March appearances, Rossi has recorded only two assists. He has posted a career-high 53 points (21 goals, 32 assists) in 69 games during the season.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) exited Wednesday's contest early. Rossi logged three minutes of ice time before exiting the contest. During this short stint, Rossi tallied one shot on goal with one hit. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. Over his last 12 contests, the 23-year-old found the back of the net twice and added four helpers. Through 69 games this season, Rossi has tallied 53 points (21 goals), with 13 of them coming on the power-play. In addition, Rossi has added 46 hits with 35 blocked shots. If he were to remain sidelined on Saturday, fantasy managers should expect Frederick Gaudreau to move up to the top forward line.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi capped off the weekend with one more assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Jets. Rossi picked up the lone helper when defenseman Jake Middleton put the Wild up early in the game. The talented centerman opened his scoring account for the season with two assists in Saturday's 5-4 shootout defeat against Seattle. Rossi is working as the top-line center and appears poised to crush his numbers from last year. Through 82 games, Rossi managed 40 points (21 goals, 19 assists) during his rookie campaign. Rossi and the Wild return to the ice on Tuesday against a St. Louis team that has allowed four goals in back-to-back games.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi has reportedly added 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason while changing his skating stride heading into the 2023-24 season. The 2020 ninth-overall pick has struggled to find his footing in the NHL, recording just one assist through the first 21 games of his career while also dealing with side effects from attracting COVID. However, he heads into the upcoming season with some promise as he collected 16 goals and 51 points across 53 games with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League. He will get every opportunity to make good on his draft billing with the Wild this season but should be left alone in fantasy drafts with a likely bottom-six role looming.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi will come out of the lineup as a healthy scratch Saturday against Carolina. The 21-year-old has struggled to perform and boasts only one point from 16 games this season. The ninth pick of the 2020 NHL Draft had a very strong preseason with a league-high nine points in six games, but he has struggled to get meaningful minutes since the real action started, and by the sound of things, it appears that Minnesota is set to send him down to the minors soon, for him to regain some confidence and momentum. A seventh defenseman will enter the lineup in Rossi's place, with Jordan Greenway (upper body) deemed not healthy enough to play yet.

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, according to head coach Dean Evason. It is unclear how the ninth-overall pick from the 2020 draft sustained the injury, but it will keep him sidelined for the foreseeable future. The team was hoping Rossi would compete for a roster spot during training camp. Alas, he will have to wait for his six-game audition until later in the season. Despite the news, the 19-year-old forward remains worthy of a roster spot in any dynasty formats.
