Kassian was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer but signs a four-year extension to remain with the Oilers through the 2024 season. Kassian has spent most of the season on Connor McDavid's wing and is on-pace to set new career-highs in goals, assists and points.

Kassian will return to the Oilers lineup on Wednesday after serving his two-game suspension.

Kassian was suspended for two games for his altercation with Matthew Tkachuk but is set to return tonight. Coincidentally enough, Kassian returns just in time for a home-and-home with Tkachuk and the Calgary Flames. It could be an interesting night for Kassian, who has been held goalless in his last nine games.
