Chiasson scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson couldn't get on the scoresheet versus the Oilers on Wednesday, but he made more of an impact Friday. The 31-year-old winger was a menace to Carter Hart in a net-front role on the Canucks' top power-play unit, which went 2-for-4 in the contest. Chiasson is a difficult player to roster in fantasy -- he typically features in a bottom-six role at even strength with minimal ice time, but his 6-foor-4 frame and talent with the man advantage boosts his scoring numbers significantly. He had 16 points in 45 outings with the Oilers last season in a similarly structured role.

Chiasson penned a one-year, $750,000 contract with Vancouver on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson joined the team on a professional tryout and was able to parlay that into a one-year deal. The 31-year-old winger garnered just 16 points in 45 games for the Oilers last year but could be in the mix for a top-six role with the Canucks, which would set him up well to get back over the 25-point threshold.

Chiasson will join Vancouver for training camp on a professional tryout, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson recorded nine goals, seven assists and 65 shots with the Oilers last year while averaging 12:29 of ice time, including 2:59 with the man advantage. If he can land a permanent spot with the Canucks, the 30-year-old winger could earn a power-play role, which would put him back on the fantasy map.

Chiasson scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Jets in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
After being scratched by the Oilers in Game 3, Chiasson gave the team their first lead of the game battling in front of the net for a goal on the power-play. Oddly enough, Chiasson didn't receive a single shift in overtime despite scoring in the game, logging only 9:40 of total ice time with the season on the line. The 30-year-old had only 16 points in 45 games in the regular season and posted a minus-10.

Chiasson collected a goal and an assist with two shots and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson got the Oilers on the board midway through the second period, making his way across the slot before muscling a wrist shot through Cayden Primeau from the right faceoff dot. He later added a helper on Leon Draisaitl's power-play tally in the second period. Chiasson has nine goals and 16 points with 33 PIM heading into Saturday's regular-season finale. The recently-formed fourth line of Chiasson and fellow veteran James Neal with rookie center Ryan McLeod will be an intriguing unit to watch in the postseason.

Chiasson managed an assist and three hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson helped out on James Neal's first-period marker. The 30-year-old Chiasson is up to 14 points, 62 shots on net, 37 hits and 33 PIM in 43 outings. He remains an intriguing fantasy option due to his power-play time on the top unit with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Chiasson recorded an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson ended a four-game point drought with his helper on Darnell Nurse's third-period goal. Through 40 appearances, Chiasson has 13 points, 54 shots on net, 33 hits and 24 PIM. He works in a fourth-line role at even strength, but he's picked up six power-play points as a net-front presence on the top man-advantage unit.

Chiasson scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson's goal came at even strength -- that's a rarity for the winger, as five of his eight tallies this year have come with the man advantage. The 30-year-old is up to 12 points, 46 shots on net, 24 PIM and a minus-4 rating in 35 outings. Outside of power-play production, there's not much fantasy value to be had from Chiasson when he mainly plays in a bottom-six role.

Chiasson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Chiasson missed one game with an undisclosed injury, but the Oilers' time off in the last week allowed him to avoid missing additional contests. He tipped in a Tyson Barrie shot at 12:57 of the third period for a goal. Chiasson is up to seven tallies, 11 points, 41 shots on net and 19 PIM through 32 contests this season. When he's in the lineup, he often works as a net-front presence on the top power-play unit, giving him some sneaky fantasy value despite his bottom-six usage at even strength.
