Zach Parise's timetable has gone from vague to ... less vague.
Minnesota Wild head coach John Torchetti said Wednesday that his leading scorer is now week to week with the injury that's kept him out of the regular-season finale and the club's first three playoff games.
Parise was ruled out indefinitely last Wednesday before the start of Minnesota's first-round series against the Dallas Stars.
He led the Wild with 25 goals and ranked second on the team with 53 points during the regular season, despite missing 12 games. He's reportedly been dealing with "disabling back pain" since January.
Teammate Thomas Vanek is now day to day with his injury, after being labeled week to week before the series began.
"I feel good skating (and) shooting," Vanek said. "(But) I don't feel fully comfortable yet ... I feel like I'm getting close."
The Stars lead the Wild 2-1 in their best-of-seven series with Game 4 set for Wednesday night.
