Once Zach Parise went down to a knee injury, the Minnesota Wild faced many questions. Who would fill his spot in the lineup? Which forwards would get an increase in ice time? Do the Wild have enough firepower up front to keep winning?
One question that they're still trying to figure out is "Who will come up from Iowa to replace Parise?"
On Saturday, that answer was Christoph Bertschy, a 21-year-old Swiss Center. The former 6th-rounder held his own, but got bumped from the third to fourth lines and has already been sent back to the Baby Wild.
