The Minnesota Wild may be without forward Zach Parise. After the morning skate, coach Bruce Boudreau would neither confirm nor deny that Parise may have to sit because of illness. He's played two games after missing six with a foot injury. If Parise can't play, Boudreau said defenseman Nate Prosser might get time playing wing. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk will get his 14th start; he's 7-5-1 and leads the NHL with a 1.48 goal-against average, a .952 save percentage and four shutouts. He had five shutouts last season and a career-high six in 2014-15. "The one thing I've found to help me is just to concentrate on little things that I need to do each game," Dubnyk said. Defensemen Ryan Suter and Jared Spurgeon will play together again on the top pairing. Suter had been playing with Matt Dumba. "You get the chemistry back," Spurgeon said. "It comes back quick when you're playing with a guy like [Suter]. I just give him the puck and sort of sit back and watch." The Wild have allowed an NHL-low 29 goals, and their 1.81 goals-against average leads the NHL.
