When Ross Colton scored his 15th goal of the season last month, he turned and jumped into the arms of Zach Parise. It was a great moment for Colton, who grew up in New Jersey with Parise as one of his favorite players. Colton has a photo of that embrace, and he intends to find a frame for it. He might want to grab another photo with one of his teenage idols Thursday night.
