St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Minnesota Wild placed forward Zach Parise on injured reserve Saturday due to a lower-body injury.
Parise, who had been playing with a badly bruised foot since Nov. 25, was a late scratch against Philadelphia on Monday before sitting out Friday's setback in Winnipeg.
The 29-year-old winger has racked up 15 goals and 12 assists in 37 games this season.
