Midway through the first period, Parise took a stick to the face from Tom Wilson near center ice, before colliding with Jay Beagle as he fell.
The winger was in considerable pain before he eventually left the ice and headed down the tunnel. Wilson was handed a double-minor penalty for the incident.
USA Hockey and the U.S. women's national team have reached a four-year agreement "that will result in groundbreaking support" for the program, USA Hockey announced Tuesday.
The deal ensures the national team will compete at this year's women's world championship, which begins Friday in Plymouth, Mich.
Major increases in compensation, travel and insurance benefits and a committee to give women more of a voice in USA Hockey.
"Today reflects everyone coming together and compromising in order to reach a resolution for the betterment of the sport," USA Hockey president Jim Smith said. "We'll now move forward together knowing we'll look back on this day as one of the most positive in the history of USA Hockey."
The team planned to boycott the world championship unless a deal was struck, citing unfair wages and a lack of support for the players. While negotiations and dialogue between the two parties were ongoing, time was fast running out for an agreement to be reached, especially with the U.S. hosting the tournament.
The team will practice Thursday, and will host Canada on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The women's team will now earn performance-related bonuses for the first time, and players could see their incomes reach six figures with world championship and Olympic titles.
A gold medal is worth $20,000 to the team, and a silver $15,000.
Each national team member will receive a $2,000 monthly stipend, regardless of experience. Before this agreement, newer team members were earning between $750 and $2,000, based on experience.
Travel, insurance, and per diem amounts will now be the same for the women as they are for the men's team.
Committees will be established for marketing, scheduling, and public relations recommendations, and a foundation position will be created to focus on fundraising, which pales in comparison to the U.S. boys' developmental team and the USHL.
"Our sport is a big winner today. We stood up for what we thought was right and USA Hockey's leadership listened," captain Meghan Duggan said. "I'm proud of my teammates and can't thank everyone who supported us enough."
The dispute became a major story in hockey circles, with NHLers chiming in, and support for the team coming in droves on social media.
"I'm glad we could come together and reach and arrangement that will have a positive and lasting impact," forward Hilary Knight said.
It's been a banner rookie season for the kid from Arizona for a number of reasons, but at 19 years old he's already proven he can score in the NHL, and will do so for a long time.

Clark scored 34 in his rookie season of 1985-86, but the two players were already linked in Maple Leafs history, as they're the only two first overall picks Toronto has made in the draft.
Matthews leads Toronto with 62 points on the season, and is trailed by fellow rookies William Nylander - who extended his Maple Leafs rookie-record points streak to 12 games with an assist on Matthews' goal - and Mitch Marner.
In fact, Matthews' goal moves him into a tie for fourth in the league with Vladimir Tarasenko, and pushes him one ahead of Patrik Laine for the rookie NHL lead. Laine, though, has played seven fewer games than Matthews.
And all these goals are great for Matthews' wallet.
He's in line for a $2-million bonus - one the Maple Leafs will gladly pay - should he finish in the top 10 in the league, according to The Athletic's James Mirtle.
The kids are the future for the Maple Leafs, and it appears the future has arrived a lot earlier than anyone imagined it would.
Safe to say the Buffalo Sabres defense wants this one back.
Columbus Blue Jackets rearguard Seth Jones embarrassed the Sabres' blue line during the clubs' Tuesday night tilt, weaving in and drawing a crowd before dishing to a wide open Cam Atkinson who easily netted his 34th of the year.
The helper gave Jones an even 30 assists on the season, as well as 41 total points.
The Edmonton Oilers again dipped into the college free-agent pool Tuesday.
The club announced the signing of forward Joseph Gambardella to a two-year, entry-level contract, which will begin in 2017-18.
Gambardella is a 23-year-old left-handed shooter who had a very productive final college season, setting career marks across the board with 18 goals, 34 assists, and 52 points in 41 games for UMass Lowell.
He finished tied for ninth in NCAA scoring, his impressive 1.27 points per game and seven game-winning goals standing out among his numbers.
Gambardella stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 200 pounds. He finished his college career with 47 goals and 129 points in 160 games.
The 35-year-old has had a dismal campaign having managed just 10 goals and 19 points in 51 games - the lowest marks of career in a season where he has played at least 50 games.
Of course Gaborik's poor play hurts the most for the Kings financially as he remains under contract for the next four seasons with a cap hit of $4.875 million.
Lokomotiv head coach Alexei Kudashov let his frustrations get the best of him Monday in his team's Gagarin Cup series against SKA.
It's unclear what exactly set him off, but Kudashov responded by throwing a water bottle onto the ice and accidentally hit SKA forward Ilya Kablukov in the process, leading to him being ejected. Before leaving the bench, Kudashov motioned toward his assistant, who was all too happy to take the blame (the referees weren't fooled, though).
Lokomotiv went on to lose 2-1 in overtime, falling to 3-0 in the series.
Sven Andrighetto is finally getting the chance to make the most of his opportunity.
Traded to the Colorado Avalanche on deadline day, the Swiss winger is now getting the shot he feels was never available to him with his former club, the Montreal Canadiens.
"I was really happy to be traded here. In Montreal, I never got the opportunity to play big minutes," Andrighetto told Rita Mingo of The Denver Post. "I tried my best but they either didn't believe in me or didn't give me the chance."
A third-round pick by Montreal in 2013, Andrighetto toiled with the Canadiens' organization for four seasons, a tenure that included the occasional call-up and short stints with the big club. Though, most of his time was spent seasoning in the minors.
In all, Andrighetto appeared in 83 games with Montreal, posting 11 goals and 17 assists over that time. He was a frequent flier with the Canadiens, and this season alone saw six separate trips to the club's AHL affiliate in St. John's.
Now in Colorado, Andrighetto is seizing his opportunity, where the young forward has been rewarded with increased playing time, averaging nearly 17 minutes a night.

Andrighetto has found quick chemistry in his early goings in Denver, lining up with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.
"As an individual, it's always tough to stand out if the team isn't doing well. But everyone has something to play for, that's for sure," Andrighetto said. "Coaches gave me an opportunity and I'm playing with great linemates. They're young and have a lot of skill. They play the same style that I like to play."
That added time has led to an increase in production, with Andrighetto tallying nine points through his first dozen games in the Mile High City. It all bodes well for a player looking to make the most of his long-awaited chance.
