Alex Chiasson’s day with the Stanley Cup included returning to his high school with Jonathan Marchessault

It’s a very special day and it’s touching that there are so many people [here].”

Wilson was given a two-minute minor for interference after referees huddled. Marchessault would return to the game after passing the concussion protocol.

Both players had vastly different views of the play.
