Across the first two games this season, Zach Parise is one of just two goalscorers in the Minnesota Wild line-up (the other being Matt Dumba).
The New Jersey Devils’ first round pick (17th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft is also an even plus/minus for the season so far, despite the team giving up 5 goals to their return of just 2 for.
Across his NHL career, Zach Parise has scored at a pace that at its’ lowest guarantees a point every second game (0.5 points per game).
Whilst this may not be quite befitting of the contract he is signed to with the Minnesota Wild; if he stays fit, he is a vital component in the make-up of the side.
