Kassian was involved in an automobile accident early Sunday morning, the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens are saying Kassian, who was a passenger in the vehicle, suffered "minor injuries" and a witness said Kassian appeared dazed and bloodied. Physical injuries aside, the incident calls into question Kassian's maturity level, questions he dragged along with him from Vancouver. He had been penciled in for fourth-line duty along with Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn, but his status may change. That would open up a roster spot for Devante Pelly-Smith or Jacob De La Rose.
