Parise was clearly shaken up on the play and needed some assistance to get off the ice, which surely put a scare into the Minnesota organization and fanbase. He didn’t really miss any time, however, as he was back on the ice just minutes later for a Minnesota power play.

In 61 games this season Parise has a team-leading 28 goals and is second on the team with 51 points, trailing only Jason Pominville.
