Parise scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Parise's first-period tally was the only thing between the Wild and a potential brutal shutout loss. As it was, it was still a franchise-worst defeat. The 36-year-old has a goal and an assist in two games since he returned to the lineup after a stint in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. He has only 14 points to go with 62 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 31 outings overall.

Parise produced an assist and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Parise missed seven games during a stint in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. He needed to build up his conditioning after clearing the protocol Saturday. The 36-year-old winger has 13 points, 59 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 30 contests. He saw only 10:56 of ice time Wednesday, so he may still need a few more games to get back to full speed.

Parise (not injury related) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis

Parise (not injury related) won't play in Monday's game versus the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was activated from COVID-19 protocol over the weekend, but he's still ramping up his conditioning before he returns to the lineup. The 36-year-old forward has put up just 12 points through 29 games this season. His next opportunity to dress is Wednesday's rematch against the Avs.

Parise was activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise didn't make the trip to Vegas for Saturday night's matchup with the Golden Knights, but he's been skating on his own back in Minnesota, so he could be an option for Monday's clash with Colorado. He's picked up 12 points through 29 games this campaign.

Parise (COVID-19 protocol) isn't traveling with the Wild on its four-game road trip that starts Monday in San Jose, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was placed in COVID-19 protocol March 24. Players typically need 10 days to clear the league's protocol, so it's fair to rule Parise out for the entire trip, which concludes Saturday in Vegas. Luke Johnson and Luke Cramarossa are expected to rotate into the lineup until Parise returns.

Parise (COVID-19 protocol) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Parise didn't suit up in Wednesday's game against the Ducks as a result. The 36-year-old likely won't play in Thursday's game versus the Blues, either. It's been a down year for the Minnesota native, as he's produced just 12 points through 29 games. Joseph Cramarossa figures to remain in the lineup for the time being.

Parise has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Ducks after being placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
EDGE Analysis
It's uncertain whether Parise tested positive for the virus or simply is a close contact to an infected person. Joseph Cramarossa was promoted to the active roster Wednesday to fill the void in the lineup.

Parise notched two assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
He picked up secondary helpers on Nick Bonino's game-winner in the second period, as well as Joel Eriksson Ek's empty-netter. Parise hadn't managed a multi-point outing since Jan. 24, and on the season he has only three goals and 12 points through 25 contests.

Parise had two shots on goal and 11:44 TOI in Friday's win over Arizona but didn't play the last 13 minutes due to a coach's decision, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game and it sounds like head coach Dean Evason continues to reduce his role. Parise has one goal and three points in his last 11 games.
