The Edmonton Oilers will be without forward Alex Chiasson Wednesday as he serves a one-game suspension handed down by the league Tuesday afternoon.
Chiasson skated up to Leafs forward Jimmy Vesey at the end of the game delivering a shot to Vesey that caught him in the neck.
He was assessed a five minute major for cross checking and a game misconduct.
