Parssinen agreed to terms on a one-year $775,000 contract with Nashville on Monday. - Parssinen's deal is a one-way contract, which doesn't guarantee he'll start the season in the NHL but certainly makes it harder to ship him down to the minors. After suiting up in 45 regular-season contests with the Predators last year, in which he generated eight goals and four assists, the 23-year-old winger looks poised to be a full-time contributor with Nashville. While Parssinen will likely slot into a bottom-six role at the onset, an injury or two could open the door for more minutes and an increased role at even strength and on the power play later in the campaign. |

Parssinen was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday. - Parssinen was in the lineup Friday in Nashville's 1-0 loss to Vancouver in Game 6. The defeat eliminated the Predators from the postseason, so the 23-year-old forward will get to play in the AHL playoffs instead. In 44 regular-season games for the Predators in 2023-24, Parssinen had eight goals and four assists. Look for him to suit up as a middle-six forward for Nashville's next campaign. |

The 22-year-old impressed as a rookie last year with 25 points (six goals, 19 assists) in 45 contests, and he's off to a strong start in 2023-24.

Parssinen (upper body) hasn't resumed skating according to GM David Poile, Robby Stanley of 102.5 The Game reports Tuesday. - Parssinen has been out of action since late February and seems no closer to getting back onto the ice. Unfortunately, the club never offered a more clear recovery timeline, so for now fantasy players will probably have to just consider him out indefinitely.

Before suffering his upper-body injury, the Finnish winger was mired in a 13-game goal drought during which he registered a mere nine shots.

Parssinen scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames. - Parssinen took a hooking penalty in the first period, but he quickly made up for it by scoring 10 seconds after he exited the sin bin.

The rookie forward has impressive so far with five tallies, 18 points, 38 shots on net, 56 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 29 contests. His penalty Monday was just his second of the season -- Parssinen's discipline won't help in most fantasy formats, but it will keep the 21-year-old in the good graces of head coach John Hynes. |

Parssinen produced a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres. - Parssinen has an active six-game point streak, logging a goal and seven helpers in that span. This was his second power-play assist during the streak.

The seventh-round pick from 2019 has 17 points (six on the power play), 35 shots on net, 56 hits and a minus-1 rating through 28 appearances. |

Parssinen supplied a primary assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs. - The Predators have instilled a lot of faith in Parssinen, as the rookie is operating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. However, the bad news is that Nashville has struggled offensively -- it ranks 27th in goals per game (2.75) -- and more growing pains should be expected from Parssinen as the Finn adjusts to hockey's highest level of competition. |
