Wild's Zach Parise: Expected to miss next three games

Parise (upper body) is likely to miss the next three contests, the Associated Press reports.

Parise took a high stick near his eye in Tuesday's loss to the Capitals, and he's reportedly been dealing with bruising and swelling in that area. With the Wild currently holding the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, the priority is likely to ensure that the oft-injured winger is ready to go for the playoffs.
