Parise scored a goal for his 50th point of the season in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Parise has amassed six marker in his last four outings, leaving the winger one shy of 300 for his career. The 31-year-old reached 50 points for the third season in a row, with the only downside being his minus-5 rating -- tied for the worst of his career. Parise has four games left to make sure that doesn't taint his overall productive campaign.

Parise opened the scoring Saturday, then added a power-play goal for insurance in a 4-0 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Due in no small part to its major playoff implications, this was a hard-fought game right through its halfway point, but Parise's goal 11:27 into the second period got the Wild's attack going, while Devan Dubnyk silenced Colorado's offense on the other end. The veteran sniper slumped through a big chunk of March, but Parise has racked up five goals and eight total points in the last three games, which should have fantasy owners feeling good about him down the stretch.

Parise had a monster game Thursday, notching a hat trick -- one on the man advantage -- a power-play assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in a 6-2 victory over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Parise registered his third hat trick of the season in impressive fashion, scoring all three goals in the first period. The winger came into Thursday without a tally in six straight, but he made up for it and now has 22 markers on the year. It was the eighth time the 31-year-old has reached 20-plus goals in his career, and with 46 points to date, Parise should have no problem reaching 50 for the third season in a row.

Parise fired six shots on goal and picked up four penalty minutes in Sunday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not registering a point, it was a very productive game for Parise. He led the team in shots and penalty minutes, and was active the entire game. The veteran winger has struggled a bit this season, sporting a rating of minus-8, the worst of his career. Parise can help fantasy teams, but we'd like to see him up his scoring in the final few games of the season.

Parise tallied a goal on three shots, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Parise had to have let out a sigh of relief after he ended a nine-game scoreless streak on Thursday that spanned almost an entire month. The 31-year-old has been in a bit of a scoring slump since the beginning of January, as he's only tallied three goals in a 25-game span since Jan. 9. He has recorded 11 assists in that span, though, so his fantasy value still holds steady despite the dip in goal scoring.

Parise tallied two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in a 6-3 win over the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing a couple games last week to an upper body injury, Parise has found the scoresheet in back-to-back games. He's now got three assists and a plus-4 rating in those two games. He still continues to be on a bit of a roll of late, with 11 points in his last 11 games. The 31-year-old is certainly worth a look here down the stretch.

Parise (upper body) will suit up for Sunday's contest with Florida, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The winger skated during Sunday's morning skate on Minnesota's top line, playing alongside Mikko Koivu and Charlie Coyle. Since the Wild fired head coach Mike Yeo and named John Torchetti as interim coach on Feb. 13, they have gone 4-3-0, and struggled to put the puck in the net during Parise's two-game absence. Parise and his 18 goals will be looking to ignite the Wild offense when he enters the lineup.

Parise (upper body) returned to practice Saturday and is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parise skated on his normal line with Charlie Coyle and Mikko Koivu, a good indication he will play. Parise has missed the past two games with an upper body injury.

Parise (upper body) will sit out Friday's game against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Parise didn't go with the Wild on the two-game road-trip, so it shouldn't come as much of a shock that he won't dress again Friday. Without the services of the team's leader in goals, the Wild will likely turn to Jordan Schoreder on the top line once again. However, he saw just 10:31 of ice time Thursday, so his placement on the top line doesn't necessarily translate to a lot of added fantasy value. General manager Chuck Fletcher indicated Thursday that Parise's injury is considered short-term, so there's reason to believe he could return for the team's next game Sunday against the Panthers.

General manager Chuck Fletcher indicated Thursday he believes Parise's upper-body injury isn't a long-term issue, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribunereports.

EDGE Analysis

Parise has been ruled out for Thursday's contest, and reportedly may miss Friday as well, but it sounds as though his absence may not last too much beyond that. The club will certainly miss their top goal-scorer while he's sidelined, but expect the star winger to return to his same role when healthy. Jordan Schroeder is expected to take his place on the top line Thursday, and could do the same Friday if Parise misses again.
