Former Stanley Cup winner takes American Hockey League tryout to keep career alive
The Detroit Red Wings are 11-5-4 currently in the Atlantic Division with a rejuvenated core, Ville Husso, David Perron, and Lucas Raymond leading the way.
So, everyone can see Steve Yzerman is working his magic as intended yet again, however, injuries occur.
With Elmer Soderblom, Filip Zadina, and Jakub Vrana out due to injuries, they need contributors.
That is where the Alex Chiasson signing comes into play, as a no risk option for the Wings. Chiasson is no stranger to attaining a position through a PTO, as he was given a tryout for the Canucks last season and ended up being a good depth piece, putting up 22 points in 67 games in 2021-2022.
Chiasson hasn't rebounded since his last 30+ season in Edmonton which was in 2018-2019. The depth winger is known most for his size and contribution to the power-play.
