Vernon Fiddler and Cody McLeod will come out of the lineup to make room.
Parenteau appeared in only eight regular-season games for the Predators after being acquired from the New Jersey Devils prior to the trade deadline. He's also drawn into only three playoff games, registering one assist in the 11 combined appearances.
In 15 career playoff games prior to this year, Parenteau scored two goals and added three assists, but he has averaged 0.6 points per game over the course of 491 regular-season games.
Zolnierczyk, meanwhile, has recorded one goal and one assist in eight games during this playoff run. Back in the regular season, he appeared in 24 games, with two goals and two assists to his credit.
