Oilers' Zack Kassian: Drawing closer to return

Kassian (undisclosed) is close to rejoining the lineup, per coach Todd McLellan.

Analysis:

Kassian missed the last two games and is likely to be absent for at least one more given how the bench boss didn't mention Friday's game against the Stars as a possible return date for the winger. Assuming he misses the next contest, Kassian's next opportunity to draw in would be Sunday for a home clash against the Rangers.
