Zach Kassian on the injured list following fight with Erik Gudbranson

The Edmonton Oilers are going to be without feisty forward Zach Kassian for at least the next little while. Oilers head coach Dave Tippett has confirmed that Kassian is now listed as week-to-week and requires more testing to determine the full extent of the injury. He would not say exactly how the injury occurred or what, specifically is wrong.

Kassian took just two shift in Edmonton's 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators Monday night. The first one was just two seconds long and resulted in this spirited fight against Erik Gudbranson.

Kassian took another shift in the second period. He then left the game and did not return. The fact that more testing is required could point to a possible concussion that Kassian was attempting to play through.

Kassian, 30, has three points in 13 games this season.
