Parssinen was a seventh-round pick in 2019 and is in his first year in North America. After posting 32 points (9G / 23A) in 41 games with TPS Turku (Liiga) last year, Parssinen has nine points (2G / 7A) in his first 10 AHL games. He'll immediately step into a prominent role, as he'll skate with Mikael Grandlund and Filip Forsberg in his debut.
