Parise carries the load in Wild victory January 06, 2016

Zach Parise scored 3 goals last night—including the game winner—as the Minnesota Wild held on for 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was the second hat trick of the year for the 31-year-old winger, making him just the second Wild player to have achieved the feat twice in the same season. He would go on to be named the first star of the contest, leading his team in shots (4) and plus/minus (+4).
