Kassian scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a largely forgettable season for the abrasive forward. But lately, Kassian is starting to show an offensive flair. He has put up nine points, including five goals, in his last 11 games. It's hard for us to think he can keep this up, but Kassian could provide fantasy value in deep formats.

Kassian recorded a goal and an assist versus Minnesota on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian has racked up five goals and three helpers in his past 10 games, along with 14 shots, 19 shots and a plus-6 rating. The winger should challenge for the 20-point mark before the end of the campaign after having missed that threshold by just one point last season.

Kassian scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a rough season -- Kassian has just 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 48 games. But he has five points, including four goals, in his last six games. We think this is just lightning in a bottle, but Kassian would be a great standard-league addition if he can put up a few points to go with the brawn.

Kassian recorded nine hits in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian has just one point in his last 20 outings, so he won't offer much in terms of offensive production; however, the winger racked up 65 hits over that stretch and could be a low-end option in deeper formats that value ancillary stats.

Kassian is averaging a mere 10:31 of ice time when he is in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian has served as a healthy scratch for two games already this season and even when he does suit up, is spending much of his time watching from the bench. Understandably, the winger has failed to pick up a point, but has managed to rack up 12 hits.

Kassian finished the 2017-18 season with a mere 19 points in 74 games.

EDGE Analysis

After closing out the season with 19 total points (including two in his last six games), Kassian again had trouble staying away from a negative plus-minus rating (-8). The 27-year-old winger has only finished one campaign at the big level with a positive plus-minus -- +4 in 2016-17. Despite the poor contribution to goal prevention, Kassian did dole out 129 hits in 2017-18. Regardless of the stat category, the Windsor native will have trouble filling much of anything as he appears to be competing in a bottom-six role with Pontus Aberg and Ty Rattie in 2018-19.

Kassian (undisclosed) will slot back into the lineup against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian will return following a five-game stint on the sidelines due to his undisclosed injury. The winger figures to take on a bottom-six role, with Jesse Puljujarvi or Iiro Pakarinen the odds on favorites to be relegated to the press box. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old Kassian was bogged down in a nine-game goal drought, during which he added a lone assist, six shots and two blocks.

Kassian (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's game against the Ducks, Tom Gazzola of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the fifth game missed with this ailment, but the report is that he could be back Tuesday against the Blue Jackets. The Oilers have been getting some production out of Ty Rattie and Pontus Aberg, so they haven't really missed their 27-year-old depth forward.

Kassian (undisclosed) did not participate in line rushes Saturday, suggesting he will miss the evening's contest against the Kings, Reid Wilkins of 630 CHED reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian will skip his fourth straight game because of the undisclosed issue, but his presence on the ice at practice provides some encouragement that a return may be around the corner. Regardless, the majority of fantasy owners are unlikely to concern themselves with his status considering the bottom-six forward owns just 17 points -- seven goals and 10 assists -- through 68 games this season.

Kassian (undisclosed) will not play Thursday night against the Senators seeing as how Oilers coach Todd McLellan isn't planning any lineup changes from Tuesday's win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian's about to miss his third straight game, but we're hoping you weren't counting on the bottom-six winger in the first place. Despite the Sabres originally drafting him with the 13th overall pick in 2009, Kassian's career high in points over six-plus years of service time is 29 -- when he hit that benchmark with the Canucks four years ago. His primary role is to dole out hits, and he's no stranger to the penalty box either.
