Wild's Parise back in lineup vs. Jets

After missing three weeks with a sprained MCL, Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise will be back on the ice Friday as his team takes on their Central Division rivals, the Winnipeg Jets.

The 31-year-old was hurt after a hit from Nashville Predators forward James Neal on Nov. 5. He had said earlier this week that he was hoping to make his return against the Jets.

Parise has nine points in 12 games this season.
