Parssinen accounted for eight goals, 12 points, 54 shots on net and 62 hits over 44 regular-season outings with Nashville in 2023-24. If he starts the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, he could return to the NHL level at some point.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Parssinen agreed to terms on a one-year $775,000 contract with Nashville on Monday.
Parssinen's deal is a one-way contract, which doesn't guarantee he'll start the season in the NHL but certainly makes it harder to ship him down to the minors. After suiting up in 45 regular-season contests with the Predators last year, in which he generated eight goals and four assists, the 23-year-old winger looks poised to be a full-time contributor with Nashville. While Parssinen will likely slot into a bottom-six role at the onset, an injury or two could open the door for more minutes and an increased role at even strength and on the power play later in the campaign.

Rotowire
Parssinen was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.
Parssinen was in the lineup Friday in Nashville's 1-0 loss to Vancouver in Game 6. The defeat eliminated the Predators from the postseason, so the 23-year-old forward will get to play in the AHL playoffs instead. In 44 regular-season games for the Predators in 2023-24, Parssinen had eight goals and four assists. Look for him to suit up as a middle-six forward for Nashville's next campaign.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Adds another empty-netter
Rotowire
Parssinen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
This was Parssinen's second straight game with an empty-netter and his third consecutive contest with a point. While he's burying freebies, it could be enough to spark the 22-year-old in the second half of the campaign. For the season, he has eight goals, 12 points, 52 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-5 rating through 41 appearances.
Parssinen produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-5 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
The 22-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period on a backhand that just trickled through Antti Raanta and across the goal line. Parssinen then helped set up Jeremy Lauzon's tally midway through the third to force OT. It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Parssinen. It's been a bumpy first full season in the NHL for the 22-year-old, but he does have two goals and four points in his past six games.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Scores goal in loss to Wild
Rotowire
Parssinen netted a goal in a 6-1 win against Minnesota on Thursday.
Parssinen's tally came early in the third period and merely narrowed Minnesota's lead to 5-1. He has four goals and five points in 21 contests this season. While that's not much offensive production, he is averaging 15:00 of ice time, including 1:52 with the man advantage, so the 22-year-old is in a position to improve. We saw evidence Parssinen could do better in 2022-23 when he recorded 25 points (six goals) in 45 contests with Nashville as a rookie.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Parssinen scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Parssinen collected a loose puck in his own zone and found the empty cage from long range for his second goal in as many games. The 22-year-old impressed as a rookie last year with 25 points (six goals, 19 assists) in 45 contests, and he's off to a strong start in 2023-24. The Finn should continue to be a strong contributor on offense if he stays on a line with Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Atones for penalty
Rotowire
Parssinen scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.
Parssinen took a hooking penalty in the first period, but he quickly made up for it by scoring 10 seconds after he exited the sin bin. That goal held up as the game-winner, and it stretched his point streak to seven contests (two goals, seven assists). The rookie forward has impressive so far with five tallies, 18 points, 38 shots on net, 56 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 29 contests. His penalty Monday was just his second of the season -- Parssinen's discipline won't help in most fantasy formats, but it will keep the 21-year-old in the good graces of head coach John Hynes.

Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Point streak at six games
Rotowire
Parssinen produced a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
Parssinen has an active six-game point streak, logging a goal and seven helpers in that span. This was his second power-play assist during the streak. The 21-year-old forward has bounced around the lineup at times, but he's seeing the bulk of his even-strength time on the top line while also playing on the top power-play unit, so there's fantasy upside to be had. The seventh-round pick from 2019 has 17 points (six on the power play), 35 shots on net, 56 hits and a minus-1 rating through 28 appearances.
