Kassian scored a goal on two shots, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian converted on a pass from Leon Draisaitl at 18:17 of the second period to give the Oilers a 3-1 lead. The goal was Kassian's first point in three playoff outings after he missed the last 11 games of the regular season with a lower-body injury. The winger mustered only five points with 73 hits in 27 regular-season contests, but he saw top-six usage in Sunday's game.

Kassian (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup for Wednesday's Game 1 versus Winnipeg, Ryan Rishaug of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian missed the final 11 games of the regular season with a lower-body injury, but he's been skating for nearly two weeks, so he should be close to 100 percent for Wednesday's contest. The 30-year-old winger has picked up five points and 73 hits through 27 contests this campaign.

Kassian (lower body) has begun skating on his own, but he isn't expected to return during the regular season, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian's clearly making progress in his recovery, but he shouldn't be expected to return until Edmonton's first-round playoff series at the earliest. Either way, the 30-year-old winger has only picked up five points in 27 games this season, so he won't garner much attention in postseason pools.

Kassian (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was injured against Montreal on April 21 and was labeled week-to-week. Now it appears the 30-year-old winger will miss the remainder of the regular season. He has five points in 23 games this season, and it's unclear if he could be back in the lineup during the postseason.

Kassian is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian could be in danger of missing the rest of the regular season. Either way, the physical winger has only notched five points through 27 games this season, so his absence will likely go unnoticed in most fantasy circles.

According to coach Dave Tippett, Kassian (undisclosed) will be out "for a while," Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian sustained an undisclosed injury during Wednesday's loss to Montreal and appears to be facing a lengthy absence. The big-bodied winger has only notched five points in 27 games this campaign, so his absence shouldn't impact many, if any fantasy lineups down the stretch.

Kassian (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Canadiens, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian appeared to injure himself when he missed a check in the first period. The hard-hitting winger has five points and 73 hits through 26 contests this season. More information on the 30-year-old's status could surface after the game.

Kassian has worked in a bottom-six role since returning from an upper-body injury March 17.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian had a goal and an assist in his first two games back, but he's gone 11 straight outings without getting on the scoresheet. The physical winger has just five points to go with 73 hits and 15 PIM in 26 contests overall. As long as he's in a limited role, his fantasy appeal will remain low.

Kassian registered an assist and four hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian set up the second of Connor McDavid's two goals Thursday, which was the game-winner. The 30-year-old Kassian has a goal and an assist in two outings since returning from an upper-body injury. The winger has collected five points, 36 hits and 11 PIM in 15 games overall.

Kassian (upper body) scored a goal, doled out three hits and added two PIM in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian missed 17 games with the injury he sustained in a fight with Erik Gudbranson on Feb. 8. The 30-year-old Kassian put up a pretty typical stat line in his return. The winger has four points, 13 shots on net, 32 hits and 11 PIM through 14 contests this year. He'll likely see third-line usage and provide sandpaper down the lineup for the Oilers.
