Flames' Zayne Parekh: Not playing Thursday

Parekh (illness) will miss Thursday's tilt in Ottawa, per Eric Francis of Sportsnet.

Parekh sat out the first two games of the season and had played in nine consecutive contests before Thursday. Look for Brayden Pachal to rejoin the lineup after being a healthy scratch in the last six games. Parekh has one assist in nine games this season and could return as early as Saturday in Nashville.
