Kassian tallied 15 goals and 34 points through 59 games before play was paused in mid-March. The big guy matched his career high in goals from last year and likely would set a new best in the team's remaining 11 games should regular-season play resume. As usual, Kassian has continued to provide muscle on a line with superstar Connor McDavid in dishing out 157 hits, which ranks 33rd in the league despite the fact he's missed 12 games due to suspension (nine) and injury (three). The 29-year-old carries some risk due to his undisciplined play at times, but those in deeper formats that count hits have gotten some decent value from the oft-maligned winger.

Kassian dished an assist, three hits and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. Kassian set up Connor McDavid's goal at 18:23 of the second period. After some time away from the top line, Kassian returned to that role Wednesday. He's up to 34 points, 99 shots, 157 hits and 69 PIM through 59 appearances in 2019-20. As long as he remains on McDavid's wing, he could be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Kassian notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets. Kassian has picked up assists in each of the last two games. The physical winger now has 33 points, 94 shots and 152 hits through 57 games in what's been a career year offensively for Kassian.

Kassian picked up an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks. Kassian skated only 9:39 in the contest, his second-lowest ice time of the year and the lowest among all skaters in the game. The 29-year-old winger has done alright in a limited role lately, with a goal, an assist and 10 hits in four contests since he returned from a suspension. Kassian now has 32 points, 149 hits, 93 shots and a minus-1 rating in 56 appearances.

Kassian scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators. The 29-year-old winger potted his 15th goal of the season to stretch the Oilers' lead to 6-3 during the third period. Kassian is up to 31 points, 144 hits, 91 shots and 69 PIM in 53 contests. He's in a third-line role currently -- that deployment isn't likely to lead to much offense for Kassian.
