That’s Wild

Minnesota Wild first-rounder and top prospect Marco Rossi is reportedly recovering from his COVID-19 complications and will be resuming some light training shortly, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger. The young center will most likely keep his timeline of being ready for training camp ahead of next season.

Good news regarding @mnwild prospect Marco Rossi. Recent tests indicate he’s getting close to being able to resume light training again. All involved expect he will be ready for camp. Still working with specialists in Austria and Minnesota in the quest for full recovery.
