Kassian (undisclosed) will sit out of Tuesday's game against Carolina, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second straight game Kassian misses with the mystery issue. Kassian's main contributions are in the physical realm, racking up 126 hits and 90 PIM through 68 games, but he's also accrued seven goals and 10 helpers. His next chance to enter the lineup will be Thursday in Ottawa.

Kassian (undisclosed) won't suit up Sunday against the Lightning, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rugged forward dished out a hit and blocked two shots Saturday against the Panthers, so he may be feeling the effects Sunday. Kassian doesn't shy away from physicality, though, since he has 90 PIM and 126 hits in 68 games. The former first-round pick doesn't get much responsibility beyond that in a bottom-six role that yields just 11:36 of ice time per game, but he's compiled 17 points despite limited minutes.

Despite an earlier report that indicated otherwise, Kassian (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Thursday's game against Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian missed Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to an undisclosed malady, but he'll return to his usual bottom-six role against the Predators. The 27-year-old winger will add some physicality to Edmonton's lineup, but he isn't a viable option in most season-long fantasy formats due to his lack of offensive upside.

Kassian (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Predators, Bruce McCurdy of the Edmonton Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian skated Thursday morning, so he's clearly making progress in his recovery, but the Oilers have yet to release a definite timetable for his return to game action. Nonetheless, most fantasy owners shouldn't need to concern themselves with the gritty winger's availability, as he's only totaled seven goals and 16 points in 61 contests this campaign.

Kassian (undisclosed) will not dress for Tuesday's game against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian was limited to just 4:48 during Sunday's game against the Ducks because of the undisclosed issue. Fast forward to Tuesday and the injury has yet to completely resolve, costing the winger at least one matchup. His next opportunity to retake the ice arrives Thursday against the Predators, while Pontus Aberg will draw in for the Oilers on Tuesday.

Kassian (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against the Ducks and won't return.

EDGE Analysis

There wasn't any additional information released on what will keep Kassian out, but with the trade deadline less than 24 hours away, it's a possibility the Oilers are in talks to trade the 27-year-old. Kassian has seven goals and nine helpers through 60 games this season, but his physical game -- 86 PIM and 114 hits -- is what he's known for. Expect further updates on his condition after Sunday's game.

Kassian scored twice in Saturday's loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian has racked up six goals and 15 points in 53 games this season and is mostly known for his physical presence. The 27-year-old has racked up 86 PIM and his gritty play makes him of use in some deep leagues. Don't expect many more two-goal games, however, as Kassian has never hit 15 goals in his career and his fantasy value is limited due to his reduced ice time.

Kassian (family reasons) wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The bruising forward's status for Thursday's game against Colorado is up in the air, though Edmonton should provide more information following morning skate Thursday. Through 49 contests this season, Kassian has racked up four goals and 13 points while primarily filling a fourth-line role.

Kassian scored his fourth goal of the season and racked up a whopping 37 PIM in Thursday's shootout win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Kassian had just one assist in his last 15 games entering play Thursday and is more known for his physical contributions. The power forward now sits at 86 PIM through 49 contests this season. His willingness to lay out the body and ability to find twine on occasion make him worth owning in some very deep leagues.

Kassian logged an assist in a 4-1 loss Sunday to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

During the second period the 26-year-old was able to outlet the puck to Darnell Nurse, who was then able to solve Anton Forsberg and find the back of the net -- snapping a nine game pointless streak for Kassian. Unfortunately for the 26-year-old he's been playing on the fourth line as of late and is only averaging 11:38 of ice time on the season, but that hasn't stopped Kassian from notching 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 42 games in 2017-18.
