Wild's Marco Rossi Training With Hall Of Famer Joe Thornton
Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi is still without a contract but that is not going to stop him from training. NXTShot Sports Agency posted a photo on Instagram of Rossi training.
He was working with Hall of Fame forward Joe Thornton in Davos, Switzerland.
Rossi, 23, is coming off a career-year. He recorded 24 goals, 36 assists, and 60 points in 82 games last year for the Wild. He posted a career-hight in goals, assists, points, plus-minus, power-play goals, power-play assists, power play points, game-winning goals, shooting percentage, and overtime goals.
The only thing that took a dip was his face-off percentage. Rossi has now been working with Thornton to improve that. Thornton played 1,714 career NHL games and recorded 430 goals, 1,109 assists, 1,539 points and had a career face-off percentage of 52.5.
The grind doesn't stop for Rossi as he continues to improve and work on his game. A bright future is in store for him.

Bruins Get Great News About Important Defenseman
Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm missed a significant portion of this past season due to a fractured kneecap he suffered against the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 12. While he worked hard to try to return, he was unable to get back into game action before the 2024-25 season was complete. With this, he played in just 17 games this past season for the Bruins, where he had three goals, four assists, and seven points. There is no question that the Bruins missed Lindholm tremendously this past season, and his absence from their blueline undoubtedly played a role in their nightmare 2024-25 season. However, Lindholm has now provided an exciting update about his injury recovery. While speaking with the Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont, Lindholm shared that he is fully healed and is good to go for the start of training camp. This is certainly excellent news for the Bruins, as Lindholm is their top left-shot defenseman, and their blueline is far better when he is healthy because of it. Thus, it is significant that he is ready to return to the ice for training camp. This will also give him plenty of time to shake off the rust after missing most of last season due to his injury. With the Bruins looking to have a bounce-back season, they are going to need their important players to stay healthy. Thus, getting Lindholm back is major news for the Original Six club, and it will be fascinating to see how much of an impact he can make next season from here. Where New Bruins Should Fit In Lineup After a disappointing 2024-25 season, the expectation was that the Boston Bruins would look to make changes to their roster this summer. It is fair to say that they did just that, as they brought in an array of new players this off-season, as they continue their retool.

Red Wings Invite Undrafted Swedish Defenseman to Training Camp
Undrafted Swedish Defenseman Carl-Otto Magnusson Invited to Detroit Red Wings Training Camp Despite being passed over in the 2025 NHL Draft, Swedish defenseman Carl-Otto Magnusson will get a valuable opportunity to showcase his talent in front of the NHL.

Magnusson stands approximately 6 feet 6.7 inches and weighs 223 pounds, giving him the kind of size that's hard to ignore on the blue line. Though the Red Wings cannot sign him to a contract this season due to his undrafted and junior status, the camp invite allows the towering defenseman to gain valuable experience in an NHL setting.

Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm believes his best hockey is still ahead of him
Advertisement Lindholm, reached by telephone this past week at his home just outside coastal Helsingborg, dismissed any doubt he'll be up to the task. Nine months since he Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It has been, noted Lindholm, a long road back and a 'little different summer' to get his knee in full working order. 'A good summer,' he mused, 'and I am excited about coming back and showing everyone.' He'll return, Lindholm noted, incentivized to 'pick up where I left off' prior to his injury, and also to impress the watchful eye of Team Sweden bosses ahead of the Winter Olympics in February. He wore the Three Crowns sweater many times in the past, most recently in 2018, when helping Sweden win gold at the 2018 World Championship in Denmark, pairing on that squad with John Klingberg . Related : Advertisement Eager to show what he could do again for 'team and country,' Lindholm will have the Games on his mind from the start of the NHL season, up to the finalization of Olympic rosters in late December. 'It's a big goal of mine to have a good start to the NHL season and show that I belong on [Team Sweden], which I think I do,' he said. 'That's something I've had this summer as an extra [push] — to make sure I can come back [to Boston] and start where I left off, make sure I keep building and even keep building and being better. I still feel I have my best hockey in me … and it would be such an honor to represent Sweden. Some of my most fun hockey memories have been to play for Team Sweden.' Lindholm and fellow Bruin Elias Lindholm were in Stockholm on Wednesday for Team Sweden's one-day Olympic orientation camp that brought together the some 30 players essentially on the short list for consideration. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Boston's Lindholms figure to be at Olympus. New coach Marco Sturm , Advertisement 'Yeah, I heard a rumor,' kidded Lindholm, 'that he retired before he had to face me. At least that's what I heard.' Related : Lindholm's pals with the Kings organization, where Sturm coached across seven seasons, have told him 'good things' about the new Bruins coach. Lindholm noted he's also always enjoyed being on clubs with 'fellow Europeans and guys from Germany.' 'I'm excited,' said Lindholm, 'and he's got that little Boston history from playing there and knowing the culture. I think he's going to be really good and I'm excited to work with him.' Lindholm hasn't played since suffering a fractured kneecap in November. Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff Trading places Spot for Bussi with Panthers? Positioned not so long ago as the top goalie prospect in the Bruins' system, Brandon Bussi departed the WannaB's last month after a three-year tour. The ex-Western Michigan stopper signed a one-year UFA deal with the Stanley Cup champion Panthers. No telling if Bussi, now 27 and still without a minute of NHL play on his résumé, finally gets his crack at the big time. On the same day they signed Bussi to his two-way contract ($775,000/$400,000), the Panthers also inked ex-Blue Jacket Daniil Tarasov to a one-year deal for a guaranteed $1.05 million. Tarasov was the 86th pick in the 2017 entry draft, when Florida GM Bill Zito was the Blue Jackets' assistant GM. Tarasov is pegged to enter the season as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup — the spot ex-Boston College Eagle Spencer Knight held last season before Zito shipped him to the Blackhawks for veteran defenseman Seth Jones (now with his first Cup ring after 920 games). Advertisement If Tarasov ends up the guy, then Bussi will be destined for AHL Charlotte, albeit with that $400,000 guaranteed minimum as consolation. That's a four-fold increase over his pay rate in Providence last season. Meanwhile, unless Bruins GM Don Sweeney opts to deal away Joonas Korpisalo as Jeremy Swayman's spot reliever, the Bruins' top goalie prospect in waiting is Michael DiPietro , the ex-Canucks draft pick acquired in the October 2022 swap for Jack Studnicka (once considered future captain material). DiPietro took over the WannaB's net last season and put up stellar numbers, including his 1.85 goals-against average and .928 save percentage in the playoffs. Moving out Korpisalo and replacing him with DiPietro could mean a net cap savings of some $1.2 million, per Update on the new ports of call of other former Bruins, some of whom also spent time on Providence roster last season: Justin Brazeau : Signed with Penguins, two years/$3 million total. Cole Koepke : Signed with Jets, one year/$1 million. Parker Wotherspoon : Signed with Penguins, two years/$2 million. Vinni Lettieri : Signed with Maple Leafs, one year/$775,000 Ian Mitchell : Signed with Red Wings, one year/$775,000 All five secured one-way deals, guaranteeing them full pay even if they are assigned to the minors. Former Bruin Brandon Bussi signed a two-way contract ($775,000/$400,000) with the Panthers. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Going out on top Ex-Bruin Khudobin calls it a career A favorite in the Bruins dressing room during his two separate tours in Black and Gold, goalie Anton 'Doby' Khudobin , age 39, on Tuesday called it a career after 14 seasons. Eternally upbeat, the Kazakhstan-born puck stopper, a Wild draft pick (No. 206/2004), had an endearing penchant for fracturing English expressions. Advertisement 'Sometimes you're on top of the horse,' he said here during one good stretch in net, 'and sometimes you're under the horse.' Khudobin cashed in with rich back-to-back deals in Dallas after his successful 2017-18 season as Tuukka Rask's partner, what was Doby's final stay in the Hub of Hockey. His first deal with the Stars paid him $5 million over two years, leading to a three-year/$10 million pact he signed just before the Stars transitioned from Ben Bishop to Jake Oettinger as their franchise stopper. Khudobin ended up appearing in only 41 games for Dallas under that $10 million deal and was dealt late in year No. 3 to Chicago, where he played the final game of his NHL career in the spring of 2023. He finished with a mark of 114-92-33 and lifetime earnings of just less than $27 million. Not bad for a kid who, at the age of 13, saw his parents sell off their belongings in Kazakhstan so he could follow his coach to Russia and pursue his dream of playing in the NHL. 'I really, really … I really don't know how many words I can say to describe how much I appreciate what they've done for me,' he told me late in his final season in Boston. 'I mean, to leave a country where you have an apartment, a car, a job, a place you have everything, and to leave that for another country. I was 13, right? I mean, who knows?' Khudobin years ago built what he called was his dream retirement home in Krasnoyarsk, a picturesque city of a million plus in Siberia. He now can spend retirement riding on top of the horse. Advertisement Olympic thoughts Canada invitees set, but not US yet Team Canada and Team USA will hold their Olympic orientation camps late this month ahead of the 2026 Games in Italy. The Canucks recently announced the names of the 42 NHL invitees, ex-Bruin Brad Marchand among them, who'll convene for the group hug in Calgary Aug. 26-28. Headed into the weekend, the Yanks had yet to make public their dates, or invitees, for a similar camp to be staged in Michigan. Per a Team USA official, the camp will not entail on-ice workouts and players are not expected to be available for media interviews. Marchand, if he makes the cut, will be headed to Olympus for the first time in his distinguished career. He was among the Canadians who won the 4 Nations Face-Off in February, and that entire championship roster has been invited to Calgary. Lightning coach Jon Cooper , who steered Team Maple Leaf to its 4 Nations triumph, again is bench boss for the Olympic squad. The South Shore's Mike Sullivan will steer USA. As of now, there are no Bruins on the Canadian invite list, which looks like a snub for Morgan Geekie . The favorite son of Strathclair, Manitoba, scored 33 goals last season, which ranked 26th in the NHL, tied with Sidney Crosby among others. Sid the Kid will be in Alberta. Only eight Canadian-born NHLers last season scored more than Geekie's 33 goals. Setting aside Ontario-born William Nylander , who'll play for Team Sweden in Milano-Cortina, five of the other seven to score more than 33 will be in Calgary: Brayden Point (42), Mark Scheifele (39), Sam Reinhart (39), John Tavares (38), and Brandon Hagel (35). The only non-invitees to score more than 33 goals were Jordan Kyrou (36) and Nazem Kadri (35). Kind of a cruel irony that Geekie lives in Calgary in the offseason — maybe at least they let the guy commute to camp? Charlie McAvoy will be expected in Michigan for the American camp. He was among the six A-listers Team USA named in June, along with Jack Eichel , Auston Matthews , bros. Matthew and Brady Tkachuk , and Quinn Hughes . Jeremy Swayman , who in June backed the Yanks to their Worlds gold medal in Sweden, is expected at the USA camp, along with Connor Hellebuyck (ex- of UMass Lowell) and Jake Oettinger (former Boston University Terrier). All should be encamped in Italy until it's over over there. America's last Olympic gold: 1980 Lake Placid, the miracle in the Adirondacks. The now 45-year drought is the longest in US history. Ice hockey was first played in the 1920 Games at Antwerp. Until 1980, America won its only gold at the 1960 Squaw Valley Games. Morgan Geekie was not among the 42 NHL invitees to Team Canada's Olympic camp this month. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Little Ball of Great Marchand marks within reach Brad Marchand's six-year deal, for $31.5 million, carries an annual cap hit of $5.25 million on the Panthers' books. The Little Ball of Hate will receive $25.5 million, more than two-thirds of his total payout, via up-front salary bonuses paid prior to the start of each season (dramatically reducing what he would have to surrender if the Panthers opted to buy him out, say, in his early-40somethings). The former Bruins captain, 37, has logged 1,100 regular-season games and this season easily should reach the 1,000-point milestone (currently 424-556—980). If Marchand can play 400 games over these next six seasons and boost his career total to 1,500 (not bad for a projected bottom-six support guy), he'll finish in the same neighborhood as Brendan Shanahan (1,524), Matt Cullen (1,516), and Steve Yzerman (1,514). Marchand and the two-time Cup champ Panthers will face the Bruins first this season Oct. 21 on Causeway Street. Loose pucks If you lost track, Marco Sturm is one of nine who'll open the season as their club's new coach. The others: Jeff Blashill (Chicago), Glen Gulutzan (Dallas), Dan Muse (Pittsburgh), Rick Tocchet (Philadelphia), Lane Lambert (Seattle), Adam Foote (Vancouver), Mike Sullivan (Rangers), and Joel Quenneville (Anaheim). Sturm, Foote, and Muse, a Stonehill College grad from Canton, are the only ones hired with no prior NHL bench boss experience … Peter Laviolette (fired by the Rangers) and Peter DeBoer (canned by the Stars) will be the first two coaches hired amid the inevitable in-season shakeups. Combined, they've coached 2,855 NHL regular-season games in 11 cities (all different). My Bingo card has DeBoer ending up in Nashville (once a Laviolette outpost) and Laviolette landing in Columbus … Bruins rookies will report for duty Sept. 10 in Brighton, finally ending the Hub's longest summer hockey snooze since 2016. The rooks will head directly to Buffalo for the annual Prospects Challenge, with games Sept. 12 vs. the Penguins and Sept. 14 vs. the Devils. The varsity stick-carriers come rolling into Warrior Sept. 17 … Bob Hartley , who was behind the Avalanche bench in 2001 when Ray Bourque won his only Cup, last month was named bench boss by KHL Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, the defending Gagarin Cup champs … Ex-NHLer Alexander Radulov led the Lokomotiv attack and was named the KHL's postseason MVP. He dedicated the Cup win to the Lokomotiv team, including then-coach Brad McCrimmon (long ago a rookie here with Bourque), who was killed in an plane crash just prior to the 2011-12 season. 'I believe they were looking down from above,' said Radulov, 'and gave us some kind of energy.' … The Bruins Fan Fest rolls out for three days next month with stops in Hanover (Sept. 5), Fitchburg (Sept. 6), and Concord, N.H.
