Mon Mar 17 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Wild Look to Rossi for Turnaround Against Struggling Kings
**Los Angeles, CA** – The Minnesota Wild, currently mired in a four-game losing streak, face the Los Angeles Kings tonight in a crucial matchup. While the Kings are riding a five-game win streak, analyst Todd Cordell predicts a reversal of fortunes, with Wild center Marco Rossi playing a pivotal role.
Rossi, who has stepped up significantly due to injuries within the Wild’s lineup, has accumulated 53 points in 67 games this season. Cordell highlights Rossi’s consistent scoring, with a 58% success rate in registering at least one point per game. He believes Rossi is poised to end his current point drought against a Kings team that has struggled significantly on the road, winning only 13 of 35 away games and allowing a high number of goals recently.
Further bolstering Rossi’s chances is his recent promotion back to the top line alongside Matt Boldy and Mats Zuccarello, giving him prime power-play opportunities. Cordell also suggests a positive correlation between Rossi and Boldy’s performance, predicting that Boldy will also contribute if Rossi scores.
Despite their recent losses, the Wild have shown positive underlying metrics, generating numerous scoring chances but failing to capitalize effectively. Cordell suggests that the Kings’ road woes could provide the opportunity for Minnesota’s offense to finally break through. He offers several betting predictions including Rossi and Boldy each recording over 0.5 points and the Wild winning the game outright. However, he cautions readers to be aware of local gambling laws before placing any bets.
