Kassian provided an assist, four hits and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian didn't get on the scoresheet in any of the last seven games. He snapped the slump by setting up a Derek Ryan tally in the third period Tuesday. Through 13 playoff contests, Kassian has three points, 14 shots, 41 hits and a plus-1 rating while playing exclusively in a fourth-line role.

Kassian scored a goal on three shots, doled out three hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
This was Kassian's first goal and second point in five playoff outings. The winger hasn't been short on physicality with 21 hits in a fourth-line role, though he's yet to exceed 10 minutes of ice time in any of the Oilers' postseason contests. As such, his limited offense makes him a risky option for DFS managers.

Kassian posted an assist, six hits and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Kings in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian has been a physical presence through two postseason contests, logging 12 hits. He's added three shots on net, though he's unlikely to be a big part of the Oilers' offense while playing on the fourth line. The winger had 19 points and 154 hits in 58 regular-season games.

Kassian logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian earned his third point in the last seven games when he set up Tyson Barrie's game-tying goal at 9:10 of the third period. The 31-year-old Kassian ends the regular season with 19 points, 154 hits, 63 PIM, 58 shots on net and a plus-2 rating while mainly seeing a bottom-six role. He'll likely act mostly as an enforcer in the first-round playoff series versus the Kings, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to put up much offense.

Kassian scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian finished off the Oilers' dominant win at 18:26 of the third period. The 31-year-old winger has just one goal and one assist in 12 games in April. He's likely to remain in a bottom-six role heading into the playoffs. For the season, Kassian has six goals, 18 points, 153 hits, 63 PIM and 58 shots on net through 56 appearances.

Kassian picked up an assist in a 4-0 win over Vegas on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He set up Kris Russell for the game's opening -- and ultimately winning -- goal. It was Kassian's first point in eight games and just his third in his last 21. But you don't have him for his scoring. Kassian also laid five hits Saturday and has 141 in 51 games this season.

Kassian registered an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian had the secondary assist on Leon Draisaitl's first of three goals in the game. The 31-year-old Kassian has two helpers in nine games since returning from a broken jaw. The winger has played mostly in a fourth-line role, so scoring hasn't been at the top of his priorities. He's at 16 points, 125 hits, 47 PIM, 46 shots on net and a minus-2 rating in 44 contests as a physical presence in the lineup.

Kassian (jaw) logged an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian ended up returning on the short end of a 4-8 week timeline after suffering a fractured jaw Feb. 9. He missed just 12 games, though he was eased back into action with 8:05 of ice time Wednesday. The winger is expected to see a bottom-six going forward. He's produced 15 points, 100 hits, 41 shots on net, 38 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 36 contests this season.

Kassian (jaw) was activated off injured reserve Sunday, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian has missed the last 12 games while dealing with a jaw injury. The 31-year-old has averaged 12:51 of ice time and logged 14 points over 35 performances this season.

Kassian (jaw) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was given a 4-8 week timeline to return after suffering a fractured jaw Wednesday versus the Blackhawks. Given the timeline, it's not surprising for him to go on LTIR to free up $3.2 million in cap space and a roster spot for the Oilers. Kassian won't be back until mid-March at the earliest.
