Parise (back) has been skating with the Wild for the past week, but there is not yet a timetable for his return. "You could see out there he's getting more involved in everything," head coach Bruce Boudreau told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "We want to make sure - this has been such a long, lingering injury, not only for this year, for previous years - that when he plays, he's fully ready."

EDGE Analysis

Parise has been skating for the past month but hasn't progressed to a full practice since undergoing Oct. 24 surgery. It sounds like he could return in January, but his timetable is still unclear.
