Parise logged an assist in Saturday's win over Winnipeg for his first point of the season.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the postseason with a herniated disc in his back, Parise has looked back to full strength as he played in the World Cup of Hockey without any issues and says he's fully healthy. Parise opted for an extended rehab rather than undergoing surgery to correct his ailment, so his back issues could remain a risk. It's also likely the Wild will try to find spots to rest him during the season. However, after two games there looks to be no reason to worry.
