At least Parise's just day-to-day right now. It's about to get a whole lot worse for Team Kong, too:

Sharp, Hall, and Stastny out on long-term injuries.

Do they injuries seem unusually high this season so far??

They have to me, but maybe it's just because we're paying more attention. Or, most of the big injuries happened later in the season last year.

[Kong Wen]

The guys I would be relying on to score points tonight (Hall, Sharp) are injured, so I'll only have Zetterberg in action. Not going to be a good night to make up the 8 points I'm missing on Slurmee, or to protect my delicate 7-point lead over Han!

Here's the sheet updated as of Thursday, 6 November.

[Kreegs]

I am down to 4 or 5 healthy players right now.... Maybe 6.

You're looking a lot better now than you were before!

Stamkos is OK, Perry was just out with the flu so he'll be OK, Kane and Backstrom are OK, Parise is day-to-day, Backes was playing last I looked, Datsyuk is back in action and scoring better than a point per game, Sedin's OK, Gaborik played last night, and Staal is back.

You just need some of those big names to start catching up, but even then, you have two of the highest scoring reserves, so you're going to want to sub those guys in at some point regardless!

[Kreegs]

I need to get my subs in! So I am not sure if I want one of my guys to miss 20 games before the subbing time.

Strange place to be in.
