There's a good chance that Zach Parise returns to the lineup on Thursday night from a foot injury. He took part in full-contact drills and he skated on the top power-play unit during Wednesday's session. Parise said he would be a 50-50 shot to play and coach Mike Yeo wasn't ready to make a final decision either. "It's how he feels," Yeo said. "Conditioning is going to be something we have to see where we feel that's at. Also the battle, the pain, is there anything there? If he feels good to go, then obviously he's in." If he does end up playing then he might have his ice time scaled back even though he is projected to play alongside Charlie Coyle and Nino Niederreiter. We'll keep you posted on his status.
