Parise will not play in Tuesday's game against the Sharks. The news came down minutes before the Wild were about to begin pregame warmups, with the team's public relations staff releasing a statement on behalf of Parise. With his father, J.P., dealing with complications from lung cancer, Parise left the team to be at his side. Expect the Wild to give him as much time off as he needs to attend to the matter, making his return date indefinite for the time being.
