Parekh will be a healthy scratch against Nashville on Saturday after recovering from an undisclosed ailment, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Parekh has one assist, 11 shots on goal, four blocked shots and four hits in nine appearances this campaign. If he plays in one more NHL game, it will burn the first season of his entry-level deal. As a result, the Flames may decide to assign him to OHL Saginaw.

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.

The Flames announced that Parekh will sit out the tournament as a precaution, but the 19-year-old defenseman is expected to be a full participant at training camp in September. Parekh scored a goal for the Flames in his NHL debut against the Kings on April 17 after compiling 74 assists and 107 points in 61 regular-season appearances for OHL Saginaw in 2024-25. Parekh will compete for a spot on Calgary's Opening Night roster during camp.
