Pärssinen first played in his native Finland within the junior program of the HC TPS. He made his professional debut with TPS in the Liiga as a 17-year-old during the 2018–19 season. Showing potential, he was a last round selection, 210th overall, by the Nashville Predators in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. On 1 June 2021, Pärssinen was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Nashville Predators. After attending the Predators 2022 training camp, Pärssinen was assigned to begin the 2022–23 season with the Admirals. In scoring at almost a point-per-game pace with 9 in 10, helping the Admirals to first in its division, Pärssinen received his first recall to the Predators on 12 November 2022. He made his NHL debut the same day, instantly recording his first NHL goal to help the Predators to a 2–1 victory over the New York Rangers at Bridgestone Arena. Inserted into the Predators scoring lines, Pärssinen responded with his first multi-goal and 3 points game in just his third appearance, helping Nashville to a 5–4 victory over the New York Islanders on 17 November 2022.
