Parekh (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning loan from AHL Calgary on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh had two goals and five points in four AHL outings during his conditioning stint. He has one assist, 11 shots on goal, five blocked shots and five hits in 11 NHL appearances this season. Assuming his upper-body injury isn't an issue anymore, he should be in the mix to play for the Flames before the Olympic break.

Parekh (upper body) scored twice in AHL Calgary's 6-3 win over Laval on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh has two goals and two assists over three games during his conditioning stint in the AHL. The defenseman was loaned Jan. 17, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Flames end his loan prior to the end of the week, as it can last a maximum of 14 days. Once back with the big club, he'll compete with Joel Hanley, Hunter Brzustewicz and Brayden Pachal for playing time on the third pairing.

Parekh (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh continues to recover from his injury, which is believed to have occurred during his time with Team Canada at the World Junior Championship. The 19-year-old defenseman is not a lock for the Flames' lineup once healthy, but he should play most of the time he's on the roster to gain experience.

Parekh (upper body) isn't available Saturday versus Pittsburgh, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh has an assist in 11 outings with Calgary in 2025-26. He joined Team Canada for the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship, but it appears that he sustained an injury during the tournament. Parekh stood out during the World Juniors, recording five goals and 13 points across seven outings. Parekh might get a top-six role with the Flames once he's healthy.

Parekh is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss Thursday's clash with Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh just rejoined the Flames following his stint with Team Canada for the World Junior Championship. It seems likely that the blueliner's injury is something he sustained while playing for Canada -- though it's unclear if it is the same problem that nearly prevented him from joining the junior team in the first place.

General manager Craig Conroy relayed Monday that Parekh (not injury related) will join the Flames on their upcoming five-game road trip, according to Eric Francis of Sportsnet.

The 2024 first-round selection posted five goals, 13 points and a plus-5 rating over seven games during the tournament. Parekh has made just 11 appearances with the Flames this season, logging a power-play assist, 11 shots, five hits and five blocks while averaging 14:46 of ice time.

Parekh (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Friday and loaned to Team Canada for the 2026 World Junior Championship.

Parekh (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parekh is currently week-to-week, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him pop up on injured reserve. Considering the blueliner has featured in just two of the Flames' last nine outings, his continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers -- especially considering he has managed a single point in 11 games when healthy.
