Wild's Parise, Scandella out week to week with lower-body injuries

The Minnesota Wild will be without Zach Parise and Marco Scandella on a week to week basis, as the team announced Saturday that both have been sidelined with lower-body injuries.

Parise and Scandella suffered the ailments in Thursday's 4-0 shutout victory versus the Buffalo Sabres.

It's a tough blow for the Wild, with Parise off to a solid start, having scored six points in eight games. He only trails blue-liner Ryan Suter for the team lead in scoring.

Scandella has recorded one assist in seven contests, missing one game earlier this month due to an illness.
