Kassian is dealing with a case of the flu and will not play Tuesday against the Sharks. It's a tough break for Kassian, who was starting to gain momentum in deeper leagues and daily formats due to his plum appointment on the top line next to the Sedin twins. Assuming the illness doesn't prove too debilitating, he'll have a chance at returning to action Thursday against the Coyotes, but there's no guarantee the top-line spot will still be waiting for him at that point.
