Minnesota Wild star Zach Parise is expecting to increase the intensity of his foot injury rehab this week, possibly even making a return on Thursday or Saturday. That seems a little ambitious. One might say that people said the same thing when he came back from an injury weeks ahead of time, but that's also what exacerbated his problems. He has 27 points in 37 games this season.
