Welcome back, Zach Parise! The Wild's leading goal scorer all but forced himself into the line-up Tuesday night. Playing with what Michael Russo of The Athletic reported as a, "significant injury," after suffering a lower body injury from a controversial hit by Washington forward Tom Wilson, Parise led the way with two goals. Minnesota ended up with a 5-1 victory on home ice for just the 6th time since January 10th.
The Jets started netminder Eric Comrie, recently called up from the Manitoba Moose (AHL), and was his 5th career start.
