Parise scored a goal and led all players with five shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Parise tied the game at 1-1 just over six minutes into the second period, the first of four unanswered goals for the Wild. It was the 13th goal of the season for Parise, who is enjoying a productive age-35 season. The veteran leads the team in goals and while his overall point production is down this year due to a lack of assists (six), he's on pace for a 30-goal season.

Parise scored a power-play goal and assisted on another in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars. He also had three shots on goal.
EDGE Analysis
Parise sent the game into overtime when he scored with two-and-a-half minutes left in regulation. He also set up Kevin Fiala's power-play tally in the second period. The 35-year-old is on quite a hot streak of late, finding the net in four straight games. Despite his age, a healthy Parise can still be a productive Parise, as evidenced by his team-leading 12 goals in 27 games.

Parise scored his ninth goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran sniper now has five goals in the last six games. After scoring 28 goals and 61 points last season, Parise is proving he still has plenty left in the tank, although with only three helpers in 24 contests, his points-per-game pace is lagging.

Parise scored two goals, one a power-play game-winner, in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
He got the Wild rolling with two tallies in the first period, the second coming right before intermission as the veteran forward tipped home a Ryan Suter point shot, and he rounded out his line in the box score with four shots, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. Parise has found the back of the net in three straight games, and on the year he has eight goals, but only 11 points, in 21 contests.

Parise scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist to finish Thursday's 3-2 win over Arizona with two points.
EDGE Analysis
Now up to eight points on the year, Thursday's two-point performance was Parise's first multi-point outing of 2019-20. Not known as a hitter or shot-blocker, Parise needs to produce points to make an impact and has had trouble doing so in the early stages of the season. He could be in line for a big night in Minnesota's next game, Saturday versus the Hurricanes. In 33 career appearances against Carolina, Parise has scored 18 goals and posted 31 points.

Parise deposited an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Parise's fourth goal of the season made sure the Wild's comeback effort would be rewarded. The 35-year-old winger has only five points in 15 contests this season while skating to a minus-12 rating. He had an impressive bounce-back campaign with 61 points last year, but that success has eluded him in 2019-20.

Parise's third-period goal was the difference in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Parise's goal at the 12:54 mark of the third period was a dandy, as the 35-year-old managed to tip a hard, cross-ice feed from teammate Mikko Koivu into the top corner, over the shoulder of Keith Kinkaid. The goal gave Minnesota a 4-3 lead, which it held onto for its second win of 2019-20. It's been a slow start to the year for Parise, who has just three points (all goals) in eight games.

Parise scored an empty net goal and had three shots in Monday's 2-0 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Parise sealed Minnesota's first win of the season with his empty netter at 17:41 of the third period and the Wild sitting on a 1-0 lead. Only Eric Staal and Mikko Koivu saw more ice time Monday than the 35-year-old Parise, who is off to a slow start with two goals and a minus-6 rating through his first five games. He did score 28 goals in 74 games last season, proving he still has plenty of tread left on the tires.

Parise scored a power-play goal and logged two shots in a 4-2 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old scored a power-play goal in the second period to tie the game at 2-2, his first goal of the season. Parise stayed relatively healthy in 2018-19 after an injury-marred 2017-18 and the result was a 28-goal, 61-point effort that represented his most productive season in five years. His days as an elite point-producer are in the past, but a healthy Parise should still be good for 25-30 goals again this season.

Parise did not have a shot on goal, was a minus-3 and logged just 13:56 of ice time in Thursday's season-opening loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The top line of Eric Staal, Mats Zuccarello and Parise struggled from the start, allowing three goals while being outskated by faster lines. Head coach Bruce Boudreau decided to limit that line's ice time as a result. The good news is Parise's lack of production wasn't due to injury, but he and the Wild had a troubling season debut.
