Parenteau (concussion) won't play Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Analysis:

Parenteau has been cleared to play by team doctors, as he is no longer exhibiting symptoms of a concussion. However, because Parenteau has been sidelined since mid-January with the head injury, he'll still require some time to get his conditioning up to par. He could be ready to go in advance of Saturday's tilt with the Maple Leafs.
