Zack Kassian Handed Two-Game Suspension
5 years agoEdmonton Oilers forward Zack Kassian has been suspended for his team's next two contests following an altercation with winger Matthew Tkachuk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Calgary Flames. After taking a few big hits from Tkachuk throughout the night, Kassian retaliated in the second period and ended up getting served 14 minutes in penalties. The 28-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season in 2019-2020, having already registered 13 goals, 15 assists, 72 shots and 123 hits while primarily serving as a physical force on the Oilers' top line with forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. He'll be eligible to return to the Edmonton lineup following the All-Star break on January 29th versus the Flames.
