What It Means:

He is officially listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Parise hasn't been on the ice since last Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks. He was diagnosed with a herniated disk in January but played through the ailment until sources say he started suffering from tingling in his legs, foot numbness and disabling back pain. The Wild have declined to comment on the situation, but it doesn't look like he will be ready to play in Game 1 on Thursday.

Parise totaled 25 goals and 28 assists in 70 games, giving him his lowest point total since the 2012-'13 campaign. He owned a 49.7 Corsi For Percentage and 1.3 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength, both of which were career-low marks.
