Parekh (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
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.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Out week-to-week
Rotowire
Parekh (upper body) is week-to-week and has been placed on injured reserve, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Calgary recalled Daniil Miromanov in a corresponding move. Parekh absorbed a hit from Chicago's Nick Foligno on Friday in a 4-0 loss. The 19-year-old Parekh has already played 11 games this season, burning one year of his entry-level contract. However, that doesn't close the door on a potential return to junior hockey if the Flames want him to play more once he's healthy.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Will miss time
Rotowire
Parekh (upper body) will miss "a little bit of time" after sustaining an injury Friday versus the Blackhawks, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Head coach Ryan Huska's postgame update was not particularly concerning, but Parekh missing time is still disappointing. It's safe to assume the 19-year-old defenseman will miss upcoming road games versus Minnesota on Sunday and St. Louis on Tuesday at a minimum. Jake Bean is likely to reenter the lineup unless Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) overcomes his injury in time for the road trip.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Suffers upper-body injury
Rotowire
Parekh (upper body) won't return to Friday's game versus the Blackhawks.
Parekh was hurt on a Nick Foligno hit in the second period. The 19-year-old Parekh can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Sunday in Minnesota and Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) remains out, Jake Bean will likely reenter the lineup for the Flames.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Nabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Parekh registered a power-play assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
The helper was Parekh's first point in seven outings this year. The Flames waived Daniil Miromanov, so it looks like Parekh has gained some job security in the lineup despite the team's overall lack of offense. Parekh has added nine shots on net, four blocked shots, two hits and a minus-3 rating so far. Until the Flames start scoring more, fantasy managers in redraft formats can likely find more productive blueliners than the 19-year-old, though his progress should still be monitored.
