Playing against former team felt like scrimmage for Parise
On Sunday, Zach Parise faced off against the New Jersey Devils for the first time since leaving the team and signing with the Minnesota Wild via free agency.
Parise: As a player, you always hate practicing and scrimmaging against your own team and that’s what it felt like for me the whole game.

The Wild blanked the Devils 4-0 and Parise was left off the score sheet. The two teams will meet next in New Jersey on March 20th, 2014, marking the first time Parise will play at the Prudential Center against his former club.
