0:00It's March 15, here's your NHL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Vancouver Connucks dropped the 5-2 decision to the Seattle Kraken at home on Saturday night. Seattle ended their four-game skid with a strong showing, pulling ahead after an early tie and holding firm. For the Connucks, it was a tough one, despite some bright moments on offense. The team has now won just two of their last 12 games as the regular season winds down. Some of the errors in a lack of consistent scoring have piled up, putting pressure on them to find urgency fast if they want a solid finish. Fans and analysts see glimmers of hope in young players stepping up. Coach Adam Foot faces a busy week in practice, focusing on better communication, line pairings, and stopping easy goals to steady the ship. Marco Rossi is emerging as a key center, with three goals and four assists in his last seven games. The 24-year-old has eight goals this season across teams, showing he could be a reliable piece for Vancouver moving forward.

The 18-year-old has 38 goals and 81 points in 57 games, making him one to watch for the Connucks' future. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode.
