Chiasson was missing from Monday's practice due to an undisclosed injury and is questionable to play Tuesday vs. The Penguins. Taro Hirose was recalled from the AHL on Tuesday morning, suggesting that Chiasson will be unavailable.
Chiasson had nine goals, 20 points, 14 PIMs, and a +6 plus/minus through 29 games this season with Grand Rapids (AHL) and has signed a one-year, one-way contract worth $750,000. He played 67 games for the Vancouver Canucks in 2021-22, scoring 13 goals and 22 points.
Chiasson missed the last two games with a non-COVID illness but will play Thursday in Minnesota. Chiasson has been red-hot as go late and should be back in a top-6 role and on the top PP unit.

Chiasson has been playing very well recently, scoring six goals with four assists (10 points) in his last seven games. He was a late scratch on Monday and that leaves him questionable to play in the second half of the Canucks' back-to-back when they take on the Senators on Tuesday.
The Canucks do not play until next Tuesday, so it's entirely possible that Chiasson doesn't miss any time as long as he returns negative tests ahead of their trip to Florida.
Chiasson turned his PTO into a one-year deal, picking up one assist in three preseason games. Chiasson was skating on the top line with Elias Pettersson in Tuesday's practice, so he'll play a big role while Brock Boeser is out.

Chiasson is expected to miss his second straight game with an illness. With Chiasson sidelined, Patrick Russell will remain in the Oilers lineup against the Islanders. Chiasson is day-to-day.
