Kassian will have an in-person hearing with the Department of Player Safety, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian was seen kicking Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak in the chest with the blade of his skate, which the league will certainly have something to say about. Additional factors at play are the fact that Kassian wasn't penalized on the play and was suspended only a month ago for his action against Calgary's Matthew Tkachuk, both of which could serve to lengthen his ban. By holding the hearing in person, the league can suspend the winger for more than five games, something fantasy owners should probably expect at this point.

Kassian had an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian picked up his second point in his last five games. He's now at a career-high 30 points in 51 contests this season. He's added 136 hits, 82 shots and 69 PIM. Offense may be hard to come by for the 29-year-old, who will see time on the third line with Connor McDavid (quadriceps) out.

Kassian netted a goal on two shots in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian's tally staked the Oilers to a 2-0 lead just 1:05 into the game. Surprisingly, the burly winger didn't get involved in the more physical parts of the rivalry match. With the tally, Kassian tied his career high in points at 29 -- a mark he also achieved in 2013-14. He's added 76 shots on goal, 128 hits and 69 PIM through 47 contests.

Kassian signed a four-year, $12.8 million contract extension with the Oilers on Wednesday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the highly-anticipated Battle of Alberta on tap Wednesday night, Kassian has garnered long-term security in Edmonton, as he's locked down through the 2023-24 season at an annual salary of $3.2 million. The 29-year-old has earned a spot alongside Connor McDavid on the top line this year, and he's generated 13 goals and 28 points over 44 games while staying physical with 123 hits and 64 PIM. He'll return to the lineup after a two-game suspension Wednesday versus the Flames.

Kassian received a two-game suspension after his actions in Saturday's contest against Calgary, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like Kassian will be starting his All-Star break a bit earlier than his teammates. The 28-year-old winger took exception to a hit from Matthew Tkachuk and dropped the gloves on his unsuspecting opponent. The Oilers have just two games remaining before the break, so expect Kassian to return on Jan. 29 against none other than the Flames.

Kassian will have a hearing Monday in front of the NHL Department of Player Safety after accruing two roughing minors and a 10-minute misconduct penalty in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian accrued a season-high 14 PIM in the loss, with two of his three infractions on the night coming late in the second period, when he began punching Matthew Tkachuk after taking offense to a hit from the Calgary forward. The 28-year-old will likely need to make a compelling case for his actions in Monday's hearing in order to avoid a suspension or fine.

Kassian registered an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Kassian set up Connor McDavid in the third period. The physical winger has amassed six points and 22 hits in his last nine games. Kassian is at 28 points (13 goals, 15 helpers), 115 hits, 50 PIM and a plus-5 rating this season. He needs just one point to match his career high of 29, set in 2013-14 with the Canucks.

The rowdy winger has a four-game point streak to bring him to 26 points through 36 games. He's added 104 hits, 48 PIM and 63 shots on goal.
