EDGE Analysis
Kassian set up Colton Sceviour for the Oilers' lone goal in the third period. The assist was Kassian's first point in seven games since he returned to a bottom-six role. The winger has four goals, six helpers, 24 shots, 65 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 23 outings overall.

Kassian produced an assist and added four hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was the only member of the Oilers' top line to produce a point Saturday, and that's not a typo. The 30-year-old set up Zach Hyman on a breakaway for the Oilers' second tally of the game. Kassian has enjoyed his turn on the top with four points in his last two contests. The heavy-hitting winger has nine points, 51 hits, 27 PIM, 18 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 16 appearances overall. As long as he's sharing ice with Connor McDavid, Kassian should carry some depth value in fantasy.

Kassian scored a goal on five shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was surprisingly bumped up to the top line Wednesday, and the move paid off immediately. He set up a goal each by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, who also had the assists on the tough winger's second-period tally. Kassian is up to four goals, four assists, 17 shots on net, 47 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 15 outings. It's unclear how long he'll stay on the top line -- Jesse Puljujarvi has typically played on McDavid's right wing, and he's likely better suited to a scoring-line role than Kassian.

Kassian (groin) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian missed Edmonton's last three games with a pulled groin, but he'll return to a third-line role for Tuesday night's contest. The 30-year-old vet has notched three goals and five points through 10 appearances this year.

Kassian (lower body) will not suit up Sunday against St. Louis, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian has now missed three straight games and it's unclear when the team expects him to return. He's still considered day-to-day, so he'll have a chance to suit up Tuesday in Winnipeg.

Kassian (lower body) will not suit up Friday against Buffalo, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian will miss his second straight game after suffering a lower-body injury against Detroit on Tuesday. The 30-year-old is considered day-to-day, so he'll have a chance to play Sunday in St. Louis.

Kassian (lower body) won't play Thursday against the Bruins, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kassian on the shelf, Kyle Turris will draw into the lineup against Boston. Kassian's considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury, so he could be ready to return sooner rather than later.

Kassian is considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian seems to have avoided a major injury, but the 30-year-old winger should probably nonetheless be considered questionable at best for Thursday's matchup with Boston. If Kassian's unable to go, Kyle Turris will likely draw into the lineup against the Bruins.

Kassian (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Red Wings, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian suffered the injury in the first period and was ruled out shortly after the first intermission started. That quick decision suggests it could be a more significant injury. Kailer Yamamoto will likely return to second-line duties if Kassian is forced to miss time beginning with Thursday's game against the Bruins.

Kassian scored a goal, delivered seven hits and added two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian is emerging as an effective power winger in a third-line role. He's gotten on the scoresheet in all four of his games this year, logging three goals and two assists. The physicality is there too, to the tune of 23 hits and 18 PIM. The 30-year-old can't sustain this pace all year, but he's showing that the Oilers' offensive depth can shoulder more of the scoring load than in previous seasons.
