Kassian (illness) will not participate in Saturday's game versus the Flames, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian will not play Saturday due to a non-COVID-19 illness. He recently cleared COVID-19 protocols Jan. 5. Over his three appearances since, the 30-year-old has averaged 15:06 of ice time -- 1:15 during the man advantage -- and scored one power-play goal. Colton Sceviour is likely to see an expanded role in Kassian's absence.
