"Ø"Ø ABOUT THE WILD
-- Wild forward Zach Parise leads Minnesota in scoring with seven goals this season, but is out for at least five more games with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Parise injured his knee last Thursday against Nashville and missed his club's last game, Saturday night against Tampa Bay. The Wild won 1-0.
-- The Wild will also be without defenceman Marco Scandella. Scandella is being held out for what the Wild described on Monday as personal reasons. Nate Prosser, who had been listed as day-to-day with a back injury draws back into the Minnesota lineup.
