Alex Chiasson Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Zack Kassian will be the popular choice in McDavid and Draisaitl stacks, but if you are looking for some differentiation, pivoting to Alex Chiasson makes sense as Alex gets power play time. After not potting a goal in all of February, Chiasson has found his scoring touch again this month with two goals on nine shots. Chiasson checks in at $3,900 on both DraftKings and FanDuel, making him an under the radar option in tournaments given the likelihood a red-hot Kassian will be popular at just $3,000 on DraftKings.

Connor McDavid missed Monday's game with an "illness" but he returned to practice on Tuesday and is expected to suit up tonight as the Edmonton Oilers visit the St. Louis Blues. McDavid will be centering Leon Draisaitl and Alex Chiasson and this trio makes up the top three leading goal-scorers on the Oilers. McDavid leads the way with 14, Draisaitl has 13 and Chiasson bringing up the rear with 11. Next is Drake Caggiula with 7. The Oilers have stacked their top line and look to continue that again tonight. These three all play on the top power play unit together giving them not only elite upside but full-game correlation.

Connor McDavid is centering Leon Draisaitl and Alex Chiasson at the moment and the trio have been great. These are the three leading goal-scorers for the Oilers with McDavid having 14; Draisaitl 13; and Chiasson 11. The three also play on the top power play unit together which gives them full-game correlation and elite upside. They are in Dallas to visit the Stars who are expected to start Anton Khudobin tonight. He has struggled a bit with a 2.86 GAA and .911 SV% which is great for this top line.

You may not have noticed, but Alex Chiasson is proving to be an offensive weapon for the Oilers this season. He scored his 11th goal of the season on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings and has racked up seven goals and an assist in just 10 home games. Chiasson has the luxury of playing alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Edmonton's top forward line and yet is still very reasonably priced.

The season started with Jakub Vrana skating alongside Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov, but even after a respectable start by Vrana (two goals and three assists in nine games), Barry Trotz is shaking things up and promoting Alex Chiasson to the top line. Chiasson hasn't done much of anything to speak of offensively yet this season, but he showed plenty of offensive upside when he racked up 35 points in his rookie season with the Dallas Stars. Talented linemates often create value in DFS hockey, and Chiasson's simply couldn't be much better.
