The Minnesota Wild are expected to be a major force in the Western Conference in the 2023-24 season, but now, one of their most important young prospects has suffered a major setback.
A gruesome injury
According to a report out of Wild practice, former top-10 pick Marco Rossi has taken a skate to the face at practice which has forced him to leave the ice, with Jujhar Khaira taking over in his stead.
Marco Rossi has left practice after taking a skate to the face. Jujhar Khaira has changed jerseys and is now on his line after being the extra.
While there's no current footage of the incident, anything involving a skate could be incredibly dangerous, especially after the injury to Evander Kane a year ago, so now we hope that Rossi is fine and can get back on the ice at 100% as soon as possible.
