Breaking, but somewhat expected news, as the Minnesota Wild have announced that Zach Parise and Thomas Vanek are out for Games 1 and 2 of their playoff series against the Dallas Stars.
The team says Parise is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, which reports suggest is related to a nagging back issue.

Vanek is listed as “week-to-week” with an upper-body injury.
The Wild also listed forward Erik Haula “day-to-day” with an injury, although head coach John Torchetti confirmed that Haula will miss Game 1.
Torch confirms that Haula will be out for game one.
