Edmonton Oilers lose Alex Chiasson to a one-game suspension after cross-check during Monday's loss

NEW YORK -- Edmonton Oilers forward Alex Chiasson has been suspended for one game by the NHL for cross-checking Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jimmy Vesey.

The incident occurred at the end of Toronto's 3-0 win at Edmonton on Monday night. Chiasson was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for cross-checking. Chiasson will forfeit $18,534 in salary.

The Maple Leafs and the Oilers will finish a three-game series Wednesday in Edmonton.

Toronto won the first two by a combined 7-0 score, and both games were played without the Maple Leafs leading scorer, Auston Matthews.
