from Michael Russo of Russo's Rants,

Zach Parise skated with the team for the first time this morning since getting hurt against Nashville on Nov. 5. He will see the docs later to see if he can get medically cleared for full contact in practice Monday. We didn’t chat with Parise today, but he did look rusty with his skating and stick-handling.

Yeo called it a good first step, but he did not want to guess if Parise could play as early as Wednesday against Vancouver. He said let’s first see what the docs say. Yeo also said Marco Scandella continues to be out with a lower-body injury and he’d be surprised if Scandella could come off injured reserve and play Wednesday, but he didn’t want to rule it out.

Jason Zucker is fine. He said his leg went completely numb the other night after the Matt Beleskey slash, which Zucker said wasn’t that vicious. He said Beleskey just got him in the perfect spot with his leg extended.
