Multiple Wild' stars are diagnosed with an extremely contagious disease.

The Minnesota Wild are now dealing with a serious problem, that could affect their entire team moving forward.

According to Michael Russo of The Minneapolis Star Tribune, Wild' forwards Jason Pominville and Zach Parise have been diagnosed with the mumps. Russo adds that assistant coach Scott Stevens is showing signs of the Mumps, as is a member of the team services staff.

Members of the organization exhibiting symptoms are being tested immediately, and will be placed in five-day isolation to stop the outbreak.

In 2014, several Wild players were diagnosed with the illness, including defensemen Ryan Suter, Marco Scandella, Jonas Brodin, Christian Folin and Keith Ballard. Brodin missed three weeks, while Suter only missed a single game.

The Mumps is an extremely contagious disease that starts as a fever, headache, body aches, fatigue and swollen salivary glands. It commonly occurs in places where people have had prolonged contact with a carrier. It is not uncommon to see the outbreak in sports teams where people share a locker room.

Symptoms usually appear 16-18 days after infection and people are mostly contagious three days before the onset of symptoms and up to nine days after.

The Vancouver Canucks are currently dealing with a Mumps outbreak of their own, and have several players who have been diagnosed this season.

Effects and recovery time do vary, but one thing is certain, this is not good news for one of the best teams in the NHL.
