Kassian scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian got the Oilers on the board late in the first period. The 30-year-old winger saw a top-line assignment Saturday, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl as his linemates. Kassian has picked up a goal and three assists in his last five outings in a variety of roles. Head coach Dave Tippett is likely to keep his forward groupings in a blender until the Oilers put an end to their six-game losing streak. Kassian could still see top-six minutes in the near term, giving him a boost despite a season stat line of 13 points, 77 hits, 31 shots and 31 PIM through 27 outings.
