Zach Parise tied for the team-high with four shots on goal in a 2-0 loss Thursday. Parise has two assists in six games this month. That slump wouldn't be that jarring if it didn't correspond with his team's offensive collapse. They've been shut out of three of their last four games. Minnesota gained a lot of ground in the playoff race in March, but they've largely squandered it.
