Kassian sustained an injury during the Canucks' morning skate and will not be available Tuesday against the Flyers, Dan Murphy of Sporstnet reports. Coach Willie Desjardins alluded to an absence for one of the Canucks' regular skaters following the morning session, and it would seem that Kassian was the player he had in mind. Fortunately, the Canucks will get winger Alex Burrows (lower body) back from injury Tuesday, so it's seems likely that he'll assume Kassian's top-line spot next to the Sedins. Kassian will be listed as day-to-day ahead of Thursday's match versus the Blue Jackets.
