ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise will miss tonight's game and is week-to-week due to a fractured sternum suffered in Game 3 vs. Winnipeg.
General Manager Chuck Fletcher made the announcement Tuesday afternoon.
The injury was apparently suffered near the end of the Wild's 6-2 win in Game 3.
The winger missed the first half of the season due to back surgery in October. He returned to action in early January. Parise has been hot of late, scoring eight goals in the past eight games, including three goals to begin the 2018 postseason.
Tyler Ennis will fill his position.
Minnesota hosts the Winnipeg Jets in Game 4 of its Western Conference First Round series tonight at 7 p.m.
