Parise agreed to terms on a contract with the Islanders on Friday, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise joins New York after nine seasons in Minnesota in which he appeared in 558 games and racked up 199 goals and 201 assists. Including his prior seven years in New Jersey, the 37-year-old winger will be playing in his 17th NHL campaign after logging more than 100 games, plus another 105 postseason contests.

Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin informed Parise on Tuesday that the Wild will buy out the remaining four years on his contract, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild are also parting ways with veteran defenseman Ryan Suter, who like Parise, signed a 13-year, $98 million deal with Minnesota on July 4, 2012. After producing no fewer than 15 goals in any of his first eight years with the Wild, Parise moved into a smaller role in 2020-21, averaging just 13:57 of ice time while finding the back of the net only seven times in 45 contests. Parise will first be exposed to waivers later Tuesday, but if no team is willing to pick up the remainder of his contract, he'll become an unrestricted free agent.

Parise scored a goal on two shots, logged three hits and blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Parise settled a deflection and sent a backhand between his legs and through Marc-Andre Fleury's five-hole in the first period. The goal was Parise's third point in as many games -- he had just one scoreless appearance after entering the lineup in place of Marcus Johansson (arm).

Parise registered an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Parise found Kevin Fiala with a pass to spring an odd-man rush that ended with a Ryan Hartman goal. The assist was Parise's second point in three games since he joined the lineup in place of Marcus Johansson (arm). The 36-year-old Parise will likely remain in a third-line role for Friday's Game 7.

Parise scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Parise gave the Wild a lead at 11:57 of the first period, and they didn't look back. The 36-year-old winger was healthy scratched for Games 1 through 3, but he's replaced Marcus Johansson (arm) in the last two contests. Parise will continue to fill a third-line role and provide veteran experience, although it's unlikely he finds a sudden surge on offense.

Parise will be a healthy scratch for Game 1 against Vegas on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise was a healthy scratch on multiple occasions this season and only managed 18 points in 45 outings. That said, given his playoff experience and veteran savvy, it's still a little shocking to see the 36-year-old scratched for a playoff contest. Parise has 35 goals and 77 points in 101 career postseason games.

Parise will be a healthy scratch for Friday's game against the Ducks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parise has averaged just 9:45 of ice time with no points over the Wild's last nine games. It's unclear if the 36-year-old will be back in the lineup for Saturday's regular-season finale against Anaheim. He has 18 points in 44 games this season.

Parise scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
For the second consecutive game, Parise buried the game-winning goal. He's now scored in three consecutive contests and four of his last five. The 36-year-old winger is up to 18 points, 74 shots and a plus-7 rating in 35 outings. He's thriving on the fourth line with Nico Sturm and Nick Bonino.

Parise scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Parise struck at 3:20 of the second period to give the Wild a 3-1 lead. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 36-year-old winger is up to six tallies, 17 points, 70 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 34 appearances. He's seen fourth-line minutes lately, but that's actually helped him produce more -- he has five points in his last five outings.

Parise notched a goal and an assist with three shots and one hit in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Parise gave the Wild a 2-1 lead 7:28 into the second period, crashing the net to cash in a Nick Bonino rebound. He later set up Jared Spurgeon's insurance goal in the final frame for just his third multi-point game of the year. The 36-year-old Parise has seen his production fall off a cliff in 2020-21, but he has shown some signs of offensive life as of late with two goals and two assists over his last four contests. Parise has also generated 10 shots on goal over his last three, his best three-game stretch in that category since late-January.
