Parise will likely miss Thursday's game against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Parise suffered a minor injury during practice Sunday, but still played in Monday's game against the Red Wings and notched two assists in the contest. It's unclear if his potential absence is related to Sunday's issue, but it looks like he's probably out Thursday. However, he will travel with the team on the road trip, and hasn't officially been ruled out.

Parise picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 3-1 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Parise ended a difficult three game stretch, in which he failed to write him name on the scoresheet and was a minus-4. The 31-year-old has now registered eight power-play points on the season, second most on the Wild. On the year, the winger has managed 22 points in 26 contests.

Parise netted his 10th goal of the season, had two assists and fired eight shots on goal in Tuesday's win over Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Is this guy ever delivering. Parise has now scored the game-winning goal in back-to-back games and is currently riding a five-game point streak. The 31-year-old has scored three times in his last four outings and now has 18 points in 21 games on the season. The top-line winger has fired 28 shots on goal in his last fives games and is up to four power-play tallies on the year. Take full advantage of this tear he's on.

Parise scored his ninth goal of the season early in the third period for the go-ahead goal in Saturday's 2-0 win at San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Parise is finally getting going after missing eight games to a knee injury as has two goals and five points in his last six games.

Parise scored the team's lone goal in Monday's loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

It was a game-tying tally with just over six minutes remaining in the third period, but the Wild ended up falling in overtime. Parise was held without a point in his first two games back from the knee injury that cost him over three weeks, but he appears to be shaking off the rust with a point in three of the last four contests and a plus-4 rating in that span.

Parise has been activated from injured reserve and will play Friday against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Parise's long-awaited return will add some more firepower to a Wild team that scored 2.67 goals per game in November, largely in his absence, to rank 12th in the league. Parise should rejoin Mikael Granlund and Jason Pominville on the Wild's top line, knocking Thomas Vanek down.

Parise (knee) is hopeful he will be able to play in Friday's game, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

He says his knee has felt much better the last three days, so his doubtful tag from earlier in the week probably no longer applies for Friday's game.

Parise (knee) is considered doubtful for either Friday or Saturday's games.

EDGE Analysis

An earlier report hinted that Parise could rejoin the club as soon as Wednesday, but he apparently didn't look right at practice Saturday and isn't as close to returning as it initially appeared. The winger hasn't been officially ruled out for the contests yet, but his status should be updated further as they approach.

Parise (knee) could return as soon as Wednesday in Vancouver, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parise reportedly participated in the Saturday morning skate and is now waiting for clearance by team doctors to take contact in the next two practices. "I just think the main thing right now is let's just hear what the doctors have to say, and then we can decide how quickly we can try to get him back," Wild head coach Mike Yeo said. "But obviously putting his health first, and his long-term health first, making sure that when he comes back that he's going to stay in." Fantasy owners of Parise are probably champing at the bit in anticipation of his return. After all, he potted seven goals and contributed two assists in 12 games before getting injured Nov. 5 against the Predators.

Parise (knee) will practice with the team Saturday for the first time since suffering a sprained MCL in early November, but will not play in the evening's contest against the Predators, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parise skated Monday for the first time since injuring the knee, and has quickly progressed to a return to practice. However, he's not yet ready to join the lineup for Saturday, making his next chance to slot in Wednesday against the Kings.
