Parise scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Parise's tally in the second period stood as the game-winner. He began the contest on the top line, but he saw just 10:46 of ice time and took some shifts on the fourth unit, including the one that resulted in his goal. The 39-year-old had 10 points over 30 regular-season appearances, so his contributions are likely to remain limited in the postseason.

Parise said that Thursday's game versus Edmonton will be the last regular-season game in his career, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise hopes to win a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche to complete his NHL career. The winger inked a deal with Colorado in the middle of the season and had four goals and nine points in 29 contests. Parise played 19 seasons in the NHL and was one of the best players in the NHL while playing for the Islanders in 2008-09 and the following year. He has 433 goals and 455 assists in 1,253 career NHL games.

Parise managed an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
This was Parise's first point in three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. Prior to the injury, he was seeing middle-six minutes, but his ice time has declined with the additions of Casey Mittelstadt and Yakov Trenin at the trade deadline. Parise is at eight points, 36 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 18 appearances, but his limited role makes him a risky fantasy option in most formats.

Parise had three shots on net and one hit in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was back in the lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury. He returned to his normal home as a winger on the third line, and he did not receive any power play time.

Parise (lower body) is good to play Saturday versus Edmonton, coach Jared Bednar told Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was originally on track to be a game-time decision, but the update on his status came earlier than anticipated. He has four goals and seven points across 15 outings in 2023-24. Jonathan Drouin (lower body) will return as well, so Parise likely doesn't have a spot in the top six and is instead projected to serve on the third line.

Parise (lower body) will be a game-time call against the Oilers on Saturday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise has racked up seven points in 15 games since signing with the Avalanche back in January. The winger has already missed three games due to his lower-body injury but looks close to getting back into action. If Jonathan Drouin (lower body) returns as well, Parise will likely have to settle for a third-line role.

Parise (lower body) will miss Wednesday's game against Vancouver, per Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Parise might still be available Saturday versus Edmonton. The 29-year-old has four goals and seven points in 15 appearances in 2023-24. When Parise is healthy, he will likely resume his middle-six role. In the meantime, Fredrik Olofsson is projected to remain in the lineup.

Parise (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Flames, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise will miss his second game in a row with the injury. The 39-year-old's absence allows Fredrik Olofsson to stay in the lineup. Parise's next chance to play is Wednesday versus the Canucks.

Parise (lower body) left Wednesday's game against Detroit and will miss Friday's game against Minnesota, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Parise has been solid since being acquired by the Avalanche, recording four goals and three assists in 15 games played. The 39-year-old will continue to be a third-line threat for the Avalanche come playoff time. He's currently considered day-to-day with his injury.
