Pierre-Alexandre "P. A." Parenteau (born March 24, 1983) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger currently playing for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Parenteau was drafted by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the ninth round, 264th overall, of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. On December 28, 2006, Parenteau was traded from the Ducks along with Bruno St. Jacques to the Chicago Blackhawks for Sebastien Caron, Matt Keith, and Chris Durno.

Parenteau made his NHL debut during the 2006–07 season with the Blackhawks, playing in five games by seasons end. On October 11, 2007, Parenteau was traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick in 2008.

In 2009–10, after starting the season with AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, Parenteau was recalled and scored his first NHL goal in his first game with the Rangers against Dwayne Roloson of the New York Islanders on October 28, 2009. Before the 2010-2011 season, Parenteau was a career minor-leaguer, as he rarely had a chance to play in the NHL. Since then, Parenteau seems to have found a permanent home with the Islanders. In the 2010-2011 season, Parenteau scored 53 points with the Islanders, good enough for second most on the team. In February 2011, the Islanders re signed Parenteau for the 2011-2012 season.
