Parise is fully fit after dealing with a knee injury at the end of the 2018-19 season, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise is looking ahead to the upcoming season with his knee injury behind him. Whether the veteran winger starts the year with the Wild will be a constant offseason subject, though his $7.5 million cap hit makes a trade cost prohibitive. The 35-year-old notched 28 goals last season -- his highest total since 2014-15 -- and should be capable of pushing for the 30-goal mark again in 2019-20, as long as he can stay healthy.

General manager Paul Fenton is confident that Parise (knee/foot) should be able to recover fully while resting over the next four weeks.
EDGE Analysis
A broken foot and a knee injury forced Parise to miss the last two games of the regular season, but it sounds like he'll be able to make a full recovery well ahead of next season's training camp without undergoing surgery. The 34-year-old winger enjoyed a bounce-back campaign in 2018-19, notching 28 goals and 61 points in 74 games after totaling just 24 points in 42 appearances in 2017-18. The 2003 first-round pick's production will likely begin to decline over the next few seasons, but he'll still be a desirable secondary piece in all fantasy formats next year.

General manager Paul Fenton believes Parise (knee) will make a full recovery while resting during the next four weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Parise missed the final two games of the regular season due to a knee injury, but it appears as though he'll make a full recovery well ahead of next campaign's training camp without going under the knife. The veteran winger enjoyed a bounce-back campaign in 2018-19, notching 28 goals and 61 points in 74 appearances after totaling just 24 points in 42 games in 2017-18, and will remain a desirable complimentary piece in all fantasy formats next season.

Parise (lower body) recorded 28 points and 61 points while averaging 18:40 of ice time in 74 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was shut down for the final two regular season contests due to an illness and lower body injury that had been lingering. The 61 points were the most Parise has produced in a season since the 2014-15 campaign where he had 62 points. The Wild missed the playoffs for the first time since he and Ryan Suter signed in 2012, so don't be surprised if Parise has an extra chip on his shoulder during the 2019-20 campaign.

Head coach Bruce Boudreau announced Thursday that Parise (lower body/illness) will not suit up in Minnesota's final two regular-season games, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
In what was mostly a disappointing season in Minnesota, Parise's season will come to an abrupt end. The 34-year-old finishes his campaign with 61 points in 74 games, ending on a five-game point streak. After failing to make the playoffs for the first time since he signed with the Wild in 2012, it's likely Parise will be motivated to get healthy and get his team back into the running for the postseason next year.

Parise (lower body) scored two goals in Tuesday's win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Parise returned from a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and he had an immediate impact with the game's first two goals. Unfortunately, the Wild were eliminated from playoff contention after the Avalanche beat the Oilers. As a result, Parise will re-evaluate whether he plays the remainder of the season, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic. The team's next game is Thursday versus the Bruins.

Parise (lower body) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Jets, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise missed the last four games with this condition, but he took line rushes with the top unit during warmups and will be ready to fight to keep the Wild's playoff hopes alive. The 34-year-old winger is having an excellent season with 26 goals and 59 points -- 16 with the man advantage -- through 73 games.

Parise (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's pivotal contest against the Jets, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild are in jeopardy of being eliminated from playoff contention, so all eyes will be on Parise during pregame warmups, assuming an update doesn't surface on the veteran winger ahead of time. He's had a nice season overall, producing 26 goals and 33 assists -- not to mention 16 power-play points -- through 73 games.

Parise (lower body) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Coyotes, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild are fighting for their playoff lives, but Parise will stay on the shelf. His absence raises Matt Read to the first line, and that's far from an even replacement as Parise's 59 points in 73 games is the best on the team. Parise will try to shake this injury before Tuesday's game versus the Jets.

Parise (lower body) won't play in Friday's game versus the Golden Knights, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild have struggled without Parise in the lineup, as they scored just one goal over the last two games. He'll miss his third contest, so Matt Read will continue to work on Minnesota's top line.
