Zack Kassian's back in the NHL.
The Edmonton Oilers recalled the menacing, much-maligned forward Wednesday after a brief four-game stint with the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League.
Kassian hasn't appeared in an NHL game in 10 months. His 2014-15 season with the Vancouver Canucks ended with an injury, and before ever playing a game with the Montreal Canadiens, he was entered into the league's substance abuse program.
The former lottery selection's best season came in 2013-14, when he scored 14 goals and 29 points.
