Parise has picked up the offensive pace of late with two goals and two assists in his last six games.

EDGE Analysis

The days of Parise being a prolific goal scorer are over as he has only potted ten goals in his last 84 games. The Islanders only signed him to a $750K contract for this season, so they weren't expecting huge numbers but would still like to see more than 13 points in 39 games. The Islanders are struggling offensively and likely won't make the playoffs. They will have to make several decisions as the season moves along, such as should Parise be playing over younger players like Kieffer Bellows and who should be traded, and who should remain.
