Zach Parise said his left hand has improved to the point that he will play tonight against the Rangers. Parise took a Milan Jurcina shot off his hand during Sunday's game against the Islanders. An X-ray taken after the game proved negative. Parise, who leads the Devils with 27 goals, is 1-1-2 in four games against the Rangers this season.
