Edmonton, AB – Former Oilers forward Alex Chiasson is looking to reignite his NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings. The 33-year-old winger has signed a professional tryout (PTO) with the team, joining fellow ex-Oilers Jack Campbell and Cam Talbot at training camp.
Chiasson, known for his grit and scoring touch, enjoyed a successful two-year stint with the Oilers from 2018-2020. He recorded 22 goals and 38 points in his first season, earning a two-year contract extension. After playing 20 games for the Red Wings in 2022-23, Chiasson failed to secure a roster spot with the Boston Bruins last year.
Despite a year away from the NHL, Chiasson remains passionate about the game and hopes to carve out a role with the Red Wings. If he impresses in training camp, his experience and skillset could prove valuable to the team. However, if he fails to secure a contract, he may consider continuing his career in Europe.
The Red Wings are currently in the midst of training camp, with Chiasson hoping to make a strong case for a roster spot. His arrival adds another layer of intrigue to an already competitive camp, with the Red Wings seeking to solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
