Avalanche's Zach Parise: Slides assist in win
Parise notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.
Parise snapped a six-game point drought with the helper on a Casey Mittelstadt tally in the third period. The 39-year-old Parise continues to play a limited role -- he hasn't exceeded 15 minutes of ice time in any of the last seven games, and he's done so just twice in 10 playoff outings. He has three points, 18 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating in a middle-six capacity.

Avalanche's Zach Parise: Opens scoring Friday
Parise scored a goal on three shots, went plus-3 and added four hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Parise has scored in three of the last four games, including each of the last two contests in this first-round series. The winger has added eight shots on net and 10 hits while seeing top-six usage this postseason.

Avalanche's Zach Parise: Nets goal Tuesday
Parise scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.
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.

Avalanche's Zach Parise: Nabs helper in win
Parise managed an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
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.

Avalanche's Zach Parise: Ready to return Saturday
Parise (lower body) is good to play Saturday versus Edmonton, coach Jared Bednar told Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey.
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 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.

Parise scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

The winger hasn't produced much sustained offense, but he's been fine in a middle-six role so far with seven points, 28 shots on net, 10 hits and 12 blocked shots over 14 appearances.
