Parise capped the scoring during a 6-2 victory over the Hurricanes on Friday with an empty-net goal.

EDGE Analysis

Parise collected a shorthanded empty-netter, which snapped a four-game pointless skid. The 38-year-old left winger connected on his lone shot Friday. Stationed on the third line, Parise's unlikely to take on a top-six role at this stage of his 18-year career.

Parise scored his first goal of the season as the Islanders earned a 5-2 victory over the Sharks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Parise, who converted a tip-in goal on a hard drive to the net, showed what happens when a skater sticks to the basics. Make your move and keep your stick on the ice. It's what Parise did at 14:48 of the second period, giving the Islanders a 2-1 advantage. The 38-year-old veteran has 409 career goals and continues to play a fundamentally-sound game. He also had five shots on goal and two hits Tuesday.

Parise had an assist in the Islanders' 7-1 rout of the Ducks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The assist was the first point for Parise on the season. He has started on a line with Mathew Barzal and Kyle Palmieri. Each member of that trio had a disappointing 2021-22 campaign and will be looking for rebound seasons this year. Parise was able to play in all 82 games last season for the Isles but only tabulated 15 goals and 35 points.

Parise has been working on a line with Mathew Barzal since training camp opened, Andrew Gross of Newsday reported.

EDGE Analysis

Just because Parise has started on a line with Barzal doesn't mean that's where he will end up once the season begins. The Islanders have had problems finding players who can play with Barzal. The problem is that Barzal is one of the best skaters in the league, and the Isles need skill players who can keep up with him. This is an area that they lack. Parise had 15 goals and 35 points in 82 games for the Isles last season.

Parise was the only player on the Islanders not to miss a game this season.

EDGE Analysis

This is somewhat impressive as the knock-on Parise has been his inability to stay healthy in the second half of his career. The last time Parise didn't miss a game was during the 2011-12 season, and he had only played more than 70 games twice during that span. Parise finished this season with 15 goals, 35 points, and a rating of minus-2

Parise was the only player on the Islanders to not miss a game this season.

EDGE Analysis

This is a big surprise when you consider the knock-on Parise through the years has been that he's brittle and misses too much time. This will be the first time Parise has played more than 74 games in a season since the 2011-12 campaign. Coming into the season's final game, Parise has 15 goals, 34, a rating of minus-2, and has averaged 15:15 of playing time.

Parise scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Parise continues to find twine regularly -- this was his fourth goal in the last three games. It also stood as the game-winner Friday, his fourth such goal of the season. The 37-year-old is up to 33 points, 129 shots on net, 51 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 74 outings overall.

Parise scored two goals on five shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Parise scored a power-play goal followed by a shorthanded goal just 2:53 later to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead in the first. This was Parise's first multi-point performance since March 1, so the 37-year-old winger is unlikely to produce another scoring outburst akin to this one anytime soon. He doubled his season total in both power-play goals and shorthanded goals with this outing.

Parise has 11 goals, 17 assists, and a rating of plus-2 in 69 games for the Islanders this season.

EDGE Analysis

Parise got off to a slow start in his first season with the Islanders but has played better in the second half. That better play earned him a contract for next season with the Isles. Parise is a third-line player at this point in his career and understands his role. He is also defensively responsible, which is a must under coach Barry Trotz.

Parise agreed to a one-year extension with the Islanders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This move is a bit surprising, as Parise looks to be on his last legs at age 37. The seven-time 60-point scorer has just 24 points through 60 games, but Parise isn't ready to hang up the skates just yet, and Islanders GM Lou Lamariello will be happy to keep him around for another year after they finally reunited this season.
