Chiasson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson set up Tanner Pearson for the Canucks' lone goal at 16:30 of the first period. The 31-year-old Chiasson has a goal and an assist in his last two games, but he's up to just eight points through 32 contests overall. With the Canucks missing three regulars up front, Chiasson has moved into a top-six role, but he'll likely serve as more of a power-play specialist once the team's forwards are back to full health.

Chiasson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson opened the scoring at 16:18 of the first period, but the Canucks didn't put another puck behind Spencer Knight until Brock Boeser scored in the shootout. Chiasson hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in his last 11 games dating back to Dec. 1. The winger is up to seven points (six on the power play) with 32 shots on net, 31 hits and 18 PIM in 31 contests. He'll likely play in the Canucks' bottom six at even strength, though he serves a a net-front presence on the power play.

Chiasson was placed in COVID-19 protocols Sunday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

Chiasson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson tallied in the third period to pad the Canucks' lead. The 31-year-old winger has collected five of his six points this season on the power play. He's added 20 shots on net, 18 PIM and 21 hits in 19 appearances, providing some fourth-line grit on his limited even-strength shifts.

Chiasson managed an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson's helper on a Tyler Motte goal in the second period was the former's first point at even strength in 16 contests this year. He had collected two goals and two assists on the power play prior to Friday. Chiasson's tough edge (21 hits, 16 PIM) could give him some appeal in deeper formats, but with the Canucks' power play struggling lately, his scoring numbers have taken a hit.

Chiasson notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson set up a Conor Garland goal in the second period. The 31-year-old Chiasson hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in his last six games, and he served as a healthy scratch four times in that span. The Quebec native is little more than a power-play specialist when in the lineup -- all four of his points this season have come with the man advantage. He's added 19 hits, 16 PIM and 15 shots on net through 13 appearances.

Chiasson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging just 8:52 of ice time in the contest, Chiasson was able to make an impact. All three of his points through six games this year have come with the man advantage. The Quebec native is somewhat of a power-play specialist, which keeps his scoring numbers respectable even though he logs bottom-six minutes at even strength.
