Zach Parise is tied for first in the NHL in playoff points with three goals and seven assists as he leads the Wild into a second round matchup with the rival Blackhawks for Game 1 on Friday night. Parise's contributions earned the Wild their first post-season series victory since 2003, when Minnesota made a run to the Conference Finals. The Wild will hope to avenge a first round loss last-season to the eventual champion Blackhawks. Mikko Koivu is second on the team in points with six.
