Denis Chasse (born February 7, 1970 in Montreal, Quebec) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player. He played in the NHL for the St. Louis Blues, Washington Capitals, Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators. He played right wing and shot right-handed.
Chasse began his career playing in the QMJHL. While there he established himself as a high scoring forward as well as a rugged enforcer. In his final year in the QMJHL he scored 101 points in 62 games in addition to logging 246 penalty minutes.
Chasse signed as a free agent with the Quebec Nordiques in 1991. From there he reported to the Halifax Citadels of the AHL. He played two solid years with the Citadels, scoring 61 and 76 points respectively. For the 1993–1994 season Chasse joined the Cornwall Aces and scored 66 points in 48 games. Midway through the 1993–1994 season he was traded to the St. Louis Blues and made his NHL debut with the Blues towards the end of the season, appearing in 3 games.
Chasse earned a full time spot with the Blues for the 1994–1995 lockout shortened season. He played in 47 games, scoring 16 points. He also surprised many with his play in the playoffs that year, scoring 8 points in 7 games. The 1995–1996 season was a rough one for Chasse. He played for 3 teams, playing 42 games with the Blues, 3 with the Washington Capitals, and 15 with the Winnipeg Jets while only scoring 3 points the whole year.
Chasse signed as a free agent with the Ottawa Senators for the 1996–1997 season. He played 22 games in what would be his last stint in the NHL.
