VIDEO: Wild's Parise steals puck, converts breakaway for 30th goal
Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise scored his 30th goal on Friday night, and he did it in style.
Parise collected the puck on a turnover at his own blue line and skated the length of the ice to beat Calgary Flames goaltender Karri Ramo blocker-side and give the Wild a 4-1 lead.

Ramo was pulled in favor of Jonas Hiller after Parise's goal, which put the Wild forward in some pretty exclusive company.
Zach Parise becomes the 4th #mnwild player to ever score 30 goals in a season, joining Gaborik (5x), Rolston (3x), Pominville. #NHL

Parise hit the 30-goal plateau five times with the New Jersey Devils before signing with the Wild in the summer of 2012.
He recorded 29 in 67 games with the Wild last season.
Minnesota went on to defeat the Flames 4-2.
