Parise is skating at Wild practice and taking part in power-play drills which suggests he will be back tomorrow. We will have better indication after the morning skate, but monitor his status tomorrow, so far all signs point to him returning.

As expected, Parise is ramping up his on-ice workouts this week as he works towards being in the lineup on Thursday. Monitor Parise's progress as Thursday draws near.
Parise has missed 13 games because of a broken foot, said he might begin ramping it up during Monday’s practice by taking contact and getting into more gamelike situations. “I’m just waiting for the green light to get him more involved in practice,” Wild head coach Mike Yeo said.
Parise skated on his own yesterday, but is practicing with the full squad today. This is great news for Wild fans and Parise owners, he should be back before the Olympic break.
Parise will miss his 11th consecutive game tonight, but skating is a step in the right direction. There is still no firm timetable for Parise's return from the fractured foot, but Team USA is hoping that he will be ready for the Olympics.
Not good news for Parise owners. Look for a timetable before you try to sell on Parise, however.
Parise has missed the last two games with what is thought to be a foot injury. Parise's placement on IR is retroactive to December 22 so he would be eligible to play in Tuesday's contest, but it sounds like he will be out longer than that. Parise showed that he can return earlier than expected before, so don't count on him missing games until he is officially ruled out.
Day-to-day could potentially be a few weeks without its first-line left wing. Parise has clearly been hampered on the ice and in pain off of it, and my guess is he probably did further damage to the foot. Last time, it was recommended he miss two to three weeks. He missed one game. “If he’s not a game player, I want to keep him off the ice completely and give him a good chance to heal,” Yeo said.
Parise will miss his second straight game tonight. He is believed to have aggravated a foot injury he was dealing with in November after blocking an Alex Steen shot on Sunday. Nino Niederreiter will shift to the Wild top line with Parise on the shelf.
This will be Parise's second game missed this season, the last with a foot injury that hasn't healed yet. I don't know if this is related. We'll have more from coach Mike Yeo after the game hopefully. Parise has one assist and is minus-7 on the 1-6-1 road slide. Justin Fontaine will draw into the lineup.
Parise's original timetable for his return was 2-3 weeks, but he didn't even miss two games. He will suit up tonight and skate on the top line with Charlie Coyle and Mikko Koivu. Parise has 11 goals and 22 points in 25 games.
Parise was expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a foot contusion, but almost played on Wednesday and could play tonight. The WIld will jump on the ice for warmups at 5:30 pm EST where we will find out for sure if Parise will play.
With Granlund going down, Parise's return would be welcome news for the Wild.
Wild head coach Mike Yeo said that Parise will not play tonight. Parise thought that he would be able to play, but the pain just got worse as the skate went on. Parise said that his foot feels better skating than walking and that he does not want to put a timeline on his return, just take it day-by-day. Regardless, this has to be encouraging news for the Wild, as it appears that 2-3 weeks might be on the high-side - consider him questionable for Friday's contest vs. Colorado
Parise was reportedly going to miss 2-3 weeks with a foot contusion, but taking line rushes usually indicates a player who is going to play tonight. Could he be in the lineup tonight and miss no games? Hmm, wouldn't that be unbelievable? We will continue to monitor this situation.
Parise left Monday's game after blocking a slap shot. Parise remained in the game briefly before parting for the dressing room for the remainder of the night. He was re-evaluated this afternoon when they determined he would miss 2-3 weeks. This is a terrible break for the Wild who will lose their leading scorer for 8-11 games. Parise had 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 25 games. The Wild have a lot of talented wingers who will see expanded roles with Parise sidelined.
Parise returned briefly before retiring to the dressing room for good. The Wild has the day off Tuesday, so typically when that happens, injury updates aren’t revealed until the next availability, which will occur Wednesday morning. So we likely won't have an update on Parise's status until then.
Parise missed practice yesterday because of an illness, but he will be in the lineup tonight.
Good news as the illness may have been affected Parise's poor play over the Wild last couple games.
As expected, Parise will line up on the Wild top line.
