Minnesota Wild center Matt Cullen is unsure if he has played his last NHL game, which was a 5-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets that eliminated the Wild from the playoffs.

Cullen, 40, admitted that he hasn’t decided his playing future just yet.

“My only thought here the last while was getting it back home for Game 6. So to be honest, I don’t have an answer right now,” he said Friday, accoridng to The Athletic’s Michael Russo.

“We need some time to get away from it all. As I’ve said in the past, it’s an important decision to me and my family so we’ll give it its rightful due.”

Cullen, who is a native of Minnesota, signed a one-year deal with the Wild last summer to be closer to his family, and scored 11 goals and 11 assists in 79 games with Minnesota this season.

Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise is finally feeling 100% following a sternum injury he suffered during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Parise, 33, underwent back surgery last October, which caused him to miss 40 games, and is expected to be ready for the start of next season following the fractured sternum he suffered.

“I don’t anticipate that being a problem,” Parise said Saturday, confirming that he feels 100 percent, according to Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “It feels good.”

Parise says he’s been skating for “a while” and is encouraged by his play down the stretch of last season.

“It was nice to feel normal again on the ice. That was the biggest thing for me. … That was relieving,” Parise said. “I’m looking forward to doing that again next season.”
