EDGE Analysis
Chiasson had no points in three preseason appearances with the Red Wings this year. The 34-year-old is a veteran of 651 career NHL games, but he didn't play at all in 2023-24 after failing to make the Bruins' roster out of training camp. Chiasson did record six goals and nine points across 20 outings with Detroit in 2022-23.

EDGE Analysis
Chiasson had six goals and nine points in 20 contests with Detroit in 2023-24. He also recorded nine goals and 20 points in 29 AHL outings with Grand Rapids. The 33-year-old should be in the mix for a bottom-six spot.

Chiasson was released from his professional tryout with the Bruins on Sunday, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson will now look for another chance in the NHL after failing to stick with Boston for the 2023-24 season. The 33-year-old winger tallied six goals, five coming on the power-play, and three assists in 20 games last year with Detroit.

Chiasson signed a professional tryout agreement with Boston on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson notched six goals and nine points in 20 appearances with Detroit last season. The 32-year-old forward will attend training camp with the Bruins. If Chiasson manages to land a standard contract with Boston, he could see playing time on the power play.

Chiasson registered a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson has six goals on 23 shots for an otherworldly shooting percentage (26.1) with the Wings. Granted, it's a small sample size at 16 games, but the veteran winger has seven of his nine points on the man advantage. It will be interesting to see if GM Steve Yzerman ultimately re-signs Chiasson given his instant success with the new club; otherwise, the team can let him walk as an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Chiasson (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, but he's expected to return Thursday against Carolina, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

Chiasson is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Penguins due to an undisclosed injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Chiasson's status in doubt, the Red Wings recalled Tanner Hirose, who could be in line to make his season debut versus Pittsburgh. For his part, the 32-year-old Chiasson has been limited to just 11 contests this season, though he's been very productive in those outings with five goals and two assists, including five power-play points.

Chiasson scored a goal on three shots, fueling the Red Wings to a 3-2 shootout win over the Blues on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson opened the scoring for the Red Wings on the power play, tapping home a pass from David Perron to knot the game at 1-1. This goal was his fourth goal in his last six games and snaps a two-game pointless streak. On the season, Chiasson has four goals and six points in nine games.
