Parise (illness) reported that he "fully intends" to play Sunday against the Sharks, Michael Russo reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a good sign for Parise, who missed three consecutive games due to mumps. The 32-year-old forward matches up well against the Sharks -- in his only meeting with them this year he scored a goal and added two assists. A full confirmation on whether or not Parise will be back should be available Sunday.
