Parise out 2-3 weeks

[Jasmine]

The Minnesota Wild expect to be without leading scorer Zach Parise for two to three weeks after he suffered a foot contusion against the St. Louis Blues on Monday.

Parise blocked a first-period slap shot by Blues forward Alexander Steen with the instep of his left foot, then fell to the ice in pain before struggling to the bench. He returned for three shifts in the second period, then left the bench and didn't return.

Seems like he only missed one game from that injury, Parise is such a boss. Even with him, I really expected Minnesota to be one of, if not the worst team in the league, but they keep finding a way to get it done. Last night they beat San Jose 3-1 despite being outshot 38-12! Nino Niederreiter has really been the perfect addition, though he hasn't been played much he has made the most of it. I bet that him starting to play more would coincide with the Wild winning more.

Pominville is also fitting in pretty well over there..

As will Vanek. Fletchers are good at this GMing thing.

STILL don't understand why the Islanders gave up on Niederreiter the way they did.
