The Colorado Avalanche have signed veteran winger Zach Parise to a contract for the rest of the season. The deal is worth a pro-rated $825,000.
Parise is joining his fourth organization for his 19th season in the NHL. The 39-year-old from Minneapolis most recently played for the New York Islanders after time with the Minnesota Wild and New Jersey Devils.
Parise has 959 points in 1,335 regular-season and playoff games since breaking into the league in 2005.
General manager Chris MacFarland said the Avalanche were looking forward to adding Parise's veteran presence to their locker room.
