ST. PAUL -- Despite a somewhat messy divorce this past offseason, former Minnesota Wild star Zach Parise isn’t holding a grudge.
The 37-year-old winger is now a member of the New York Islanders, signing there in September after the Wild decided to buy out the remainder of his contract in July.
Is any sort of revenge on Parise’s mind with the Wild and the Islanders facing off Sunday night at Xcel Energy Center?
He spent nearly a decade with the Wild after he and defenseman Ryan Suter signed matching 13-year, $98 million contracts on July 4, 2012.
With so many moving parts this season, he and his wife Alisha decided it was best if she stayed in Minnesota with the couple’s 7-year-old twins, Jaxson and Emelia, and 3-year-old son Theodore.
The family met him in Nashville earlier this season and he recently hustled back to Minnesota for a quick visit.
