Minnesota Wild's rookies, Marco Rossi and Brock Faber, have been making significant impacts in the games. Rossi's confidence and hard work have been evident, with him achieving a Gordie Howe hat trick. Faber set a new career-high in time on ice and has consistently exceeded 30 minutes in recent games. The team and analysts are impressed with their performances, with Faber being touted as a potential Rookie of the Year if the team makes the playoffs.
If Minnesota makes the playoffs, I think Brock Faber will win Rookie Of The Year. Huge, meaningful, productive minutes. #BrockFaberScissors https://t.co/5KSsPIIRr2

Foligno on Marco Rossi: "Good kid, and then on top of that, just to be playing not like a rookie. I mean, he's spinning off guys. He's controlling the puck. He's carrying pucks in now. That's the guy that this team drafted and it's just so nice to see him becoming the player he."
Another good nugget from Rossi, who has made an impact in nearly every (if not every) game this season "Yeah, confidence is really good, and I worked really hard for that, so I’m really happy how it’s going right now but for me it’s important to keep going." #mnwild
