THEY SAID IT!
"Before these two games, we had a lot of chances. Maybe we didn't score, but it was important to have chances. Then in the last two games, we scored on the power play. It's huge and you can see that we can win games like that when we score on the power play." - Iowa Wild forward Marco Rossi on special teams and the weekend's games against Manitoba.
