Jets 3 / Wild 1 Next: vs. Stars, 7 tonight, FSN
Energizer and spiritual leader Zach Parise returned to the lineup Friday after a three-week layoff, a booster shot the Wild somehow turned into a tranquilizer.
His knee is just fine. His team's psyche is suddenly fragile following a ghastly 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets at the Xcel Energy Center.
Talk about Black Friday.
After consecutive home losses and a 1-4-1 showing in their past six, the Wild are a hot mess, their head coach is fuming again and the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars are rolling into town.
