Parssinen picked up a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
The 24-year-old has been getting more consistent ice time since the Rangers were eliminated from the playoffs, and Parssinen has responded by erupting for two goals and five points over the last three games despite a bottom-six assignment and zero shifts on the power play. New York will likely undergo a significant roster overhaul this offseason, but Parssinen is making his case to stick around.

Rangers' Juuso Parssinen: Big performance in rare outing
Rotowire
Parssinen scored a goal and added two assists in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Islanders.
This was a huge performance for a guy who has been struggling to stay in the Rangers' lineup. Parssinen may have bought himself a few games to prove his mettle, but the team is in a must-win situation. If he falters, he'll be on the bench. Let someone else snag Parssinen off the wire, as this was his first game since March 25.

Rangers' Juuso Parssinen: Struggling to stick in lineup
Rotowire
Parssinen was scratched for the fifth game in a row in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Parssinen has failed to record a point over eight games with the Rangers, and he's been scratched 10 times. The lack of steady playing time doesn't help, and he's played less than 10 minutes of ice time in six of his eight appearances. Overall, the 24-year-old has 11 points, 26 shots on net, 81 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 45 appearances between the Rangers, Avalanche and Predators this season.
Parssinen was traded to the Rangers, along with Calvin de Haan, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round selection, in exchange for Ryan Lindgren, Jimmy Vesey and prospect Hank Kempf, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Parssinen will now join his third team of the season after he was previously dealt from Nashville to Colorado in December. Overall, the 24-year-old winger has four goals and 11 points in 37 games this season. Parssinen figures to fill a depth role with the Rangers.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Collects assist against former team
Rotowire
Parssinen logged an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
Parssinen was back in Nashville for the first time since the Predators dealt him to the Avalanche at the end of December. The 24-year-old is still working on his fit with his new team, though his production on offense is mostly unchanged. He has 11 points, 25 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-6 rating across 36 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Gathers helper in win
Rotowire
Parssinen notched an assist in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blues.
Parssinen has picked up a goal and two assists over his last four contests. He appears to be getting a little more comfortable in a second-line role, though his ice time remains limited on occasion -- he saw just 9:38 on Friday despite the Avalanche being firmly in control from the first drop of the puck. Parssinen is now at 10 points, 19 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-6 rating through 31 appearances between Colorado and Nashville this season.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Scores in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Parssinen scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.
Parssinen has a point in each of the last two games while playing on a line with Casey Mittelstadt and Artturi Lehkonen. That gives Parssinen four points over 14 outings with the Avalanche, one point and one game shy of matching what he did with the Predators to begin the year. His grip on a top-six job is tenuous at best, but Ross Colton is Parssinen's biggest competition until Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) is healthy.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Logs helper Saturday
Rotowire
Parssinen notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.
Parssinen ended a seven-game point drought with the helper on Artturi Lehkonen's goal. The 23-year-old Parssinen has three points over 13 outings with the Avalanche since he was traded from the Predators. His ice time has dropped with his new team -- the Avalanche's forward group is top heavy, but Parssinen hasn't done much with his chances on the second line. He's at eight points, 17 shots on net, 53 hits and a minus-7 rating through 28 appearances this season and likely can't be trusted for consistent offense in fantasy.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Scores lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Parssinen scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Parssinen opened the scoring with an unassisted tally at 6:14 of the first period. He saw 14:35 of ice time Wednesday, though there were more minutes up for grabs with the Avalanche opting to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen for this contest. Parssinen still looks to have some job security in a bottom-six role -- his two points over five games since he was traded from the Predators is one less than the collective point total of 10 forwards who have combined for 78 appearances in part-time roles as call-ups from AHL Colorado. Parssinen has a total of seven points, 16 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: First point with new club
Rotowire
Parssinen logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
The helper was Parssinen's first point in four games since he was acquired by the Avalanche in a trade with the Predators. The good news is that Colorado is playing Parssinen, but it's come with a trade-off of minimal ice time in a fourth-line role compared to the middle-six minutes he often saw in Nashville's lineup. The 23-year-old has six points, 13 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-7 rating over 19 contests this season, so he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy.

Avalanche's Juuso Parssinen: Involved in trade
Rotowire
Parssinen and a seventh-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft were acquired by Colorado from Nashville on Saturday in exchange for Ondrej Pavel and a 2027 third-round pick.
Parssinen has two goals and five points in 15 appearances with the Predators in 2024-25. He might get an opportunity to play regularly in a bottom-six capacity with the Avalanche.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Losing playing time
Rotowire
Parssinen was scratched for the eighth time in 11 games when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Injuries opened the door for Parssinen to play in November, but he didn't do enough to stay in the lineup when he had the chance. He's at five points, 11 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-8 rating through 15 appearances this season. For now, the Predators appear content with letting Zachary L'Heureux get a longer look in a middle-six role, so there's no telling when Parssinen might get another chance.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: On four-game point streak
Rotowire
Parssinen notched an assist and four hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Parssinen has two goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. He set up a Luke Evangelista tally in the first period of Monday's game. Parssinen has five points, six shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances. While it took him a while to gain a steady spot in the lineup, he appears to have it now as the third-line center.
Parssinen picked up a power-play assist and added six hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over Utah.
Parssinen is starting to find a groove, getting on the scoresheet in three straight games (two goals, one assist). His helper Saturday was his first power-play point of the year. Considering the Predators have struggled to get offense out of their bottom six, Parssinen is helping his case to stay in the lineup after being a frequent scratch in October. He has four points, five shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-3 rating through seven appearances.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Parssinen scored a goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.
Parssinen has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and he's recorded points in three of his six appearances this season. The 23-year-old has shown some interesting things, and if he's able to remain in the power-play unit and as a middle-six forward, he could continue finding ways to produce.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Pots first goal
Rotowire
Parssinen scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
The 23-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period by tipping home a Luke Evangelista point shot, but it was the only lead the Predators would hold on the night. Parssinen has only been in the lineup for five of the team's first 13 games, but he's taken a shift in four straight and actually led all Nashville forwards Wednesday in even-strength ice time. With the team looking for answers on offense, Parssinen could get a longer look in a top-six role.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Gets second-line look
Rotowire
Parssinen had two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Parssinen saw second-line minutes at even strength, though he remains out of the power-play rotation. The 23-year-old has one assist, two shots, four hits, three blocks and a minus-4 rating over three appearances this season, but he's been in the lineup for two straight games. The Predators are still looking for an answer to their second-line center problem, and if Parssinen can get his offense going, he may earn that spot over Colton Sissons and Thomas Novak.
