4. Parises in the Coliseum

Zach Parise scored the only Wild goal and the only shootout goal in a Wild win at Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday. That will, short of an Islanders vs. Wild Stanley Cup Final, be the final Wild game at the Coliseum. In the very first Minnesota North Stars game at the Coliseum, J.P. Parise, a former Islander, scored the team’s only two goals in a 4-2 loss.

Zach Parise also hit the 30-goal mark this week. He reaches 30 for the sixth time in his career and the first time with the Wild. He’s just the fourth player to ever hit 30 in a Wild uniform. The others are Gaborik (5 times), Brian Rolston (3 times), and Jason Pominville (once, last season).
