Parenteau will return to the lineup Thursday against the Senators, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.
Parenteau was activated from injured reserve in late February following a long absence due to a concussion, but he's only appeared in one of the Habs' six games since that time. Though he'll slot in on the team's second line Thursday, Parenteau will likely need to prove himself production right away in order to maintain his spot in the lineup. Brian Flynn will be scratched Thursday to make room for Parenteau.

Parenteau will be a healthy scratch for Saturday night's game against the Coyotes, the Montreal Gazette reports.
Parenteau will be a healthy scratch for the third straight game. His return from a concussion coincided with Montreal's acquisition of forwards Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn and coach Michel Therrien is trying to integrate the newcomers, rather than find ice time for an inconsistent Parenteau.

Parenteau returned to the lineup Monday night after an extended absence due to a concussion. He skated 10:21 in a 4-0 loss to the Sharks.
Parenteau started the game on the fourth line and was then moved around as head coach Michel Therrien experimented with combinations in an effort to stoke some sort of offense. We'll need to see how Therrien adjusts his lines after the Canadiens added forwards Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn. Parenteau will fit somewhere on the third or fourth lines for now.

Parenteau (concussion) was activated from injured reserve, but will serve as a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Parenteau has been cleared to play for a few days now, but with the Canadiens winning their last three games, coach Michel Therrien is reluctant to break up his lines. The winger, who has been sidelined since Jan. 2 with the concussion, might make his return to the lineup Monday in San Jose.

Parenteau (concussion) is expected to return to the Canadiens' lineup Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette reports.
The Canadiens announced that earlier Friday that Christian Thomas was reassigned to AHL Hamilton, a move that likely wouldn't have been made if the team didn't anticipate the return of Parenteau. The winger has been cleared of concussion symptoms for a few days now, but his return to the action won't be verified until he's officially activated from injured reserve, which would likely come following Saturday's morning skate.

Parenteau (concussion) is slated to travel with the Canadiens on their upcoming two-game road trip, which opens Tuesday in St. Louis, TSN's John Lu reports.
That said, given that Parenteau worked with with strength and conditioning coach Pierre Allard on Monday, it's still unclear when the forward -- who last suited up on Jan. 15 -- might be cleared to play.

Parenteau (concussion) could be cleared to return to practice soon, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.Parenteau is still under the league-mandated concussion protocol, but he seems to have made some notable progress over the last couple of days. An exact return date won't be pinpointed until Parenteau resumes practicing, so for the moment, it remains too early to speculate when he'll be activated from injured reserve.
