Zach Parise Out with Fractured Sternum

This afternoon, the Minnesota Wild have received some bad news. Their top goal scorer, forward Zach Parise is out with a fractured sternum.

As I  mentioned on Monday, Parise had gotten hot at the right time and in the final 32 games, Parise scored (13g-8a–21pts). To put it all in perspective. Parise’s last 21 games have been lights out, he’s scored 15 goals and 18 points.

Parise was injured in the third period of Sunday’s game.
