Parise posted a hat trick on four shots to go with a plus-4 rating Tuesday in a win over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Sure, one was an empty-netter, but that's taking nothing away from Parise. He needed a result like this, having managed just two helpers and a minus-4 rating in his prior six outings. A propensity for missing time to health issues is the only thing standing between Parise and the NHL's offensive leaderboards.
