Zach Parise is pulling the Minnesota Wild back into Game 1 against the Chicago Blackhawks and breaking franchise records in the process.

Parise became the franchise leader in playoff assists during the opening round and he set a new mark for playoff points by a Minnesota player when he scored a power-play goal in the second period on Friday. He went to the net and jammed home a rebound on the doorstep to cut the Wild's deficit to 3-2.
