There is no word on how soon Minnesota Wild‘s Zach Parise will rejoin the lineup

The Minnesota Wild started off as one of the strongest teams in the NHL; they’re still doing well, but having to do so without a staple member of their roster.

It has been just over a week since Wild alternate captain Zach Parise was diagnosed with a concussion; although it’s still too soon to hope for a miraculous return, the news is still disappointing to hear.

The team made it clear when the injury was first announced that there would be no chance of Parise’s return until he was one hundred percent recovered; yet, fans are all too aware that head injuries are never fully ‘cleared’- it’s all speculation, and it’s likely that the team will err on the side of caution when it comes to allowing Parise back on the ice again.

This was Parise’s first concussion; the forward has experienced two head injuries before, but has never been out with this as the formal diagnosis before. Before being sidelined for the hit, made on November 4th (although it is unclear as to exactly what moment truly caused the concussion, or if it was a buildup from previous injuries as well), Parise had ten points (4 G, 6 A) in his first eleven games of the season.
