Agrees to PTO with Ducks Kassian signed a professional tryout agreement with Anaheim on Thursday.

The 32-year-old winger collected two goals, 50 PIM and 32 hits in 51 appearances with the Coyotes during the 2022-23 campaign.

No offense in sight Kassian's point drought reached 37 games in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact In that span, Kassian has missed 19 games to injuries and scratches. He's picked up 27 PIM, 21 hits, 16 shots on goal and a minus-11 rating over those scoreless appearances. The 32-year-old winger remains stuck on one goal and no assists through 43 outings overall. His playing time should solidify a bit down the stretch, but he's highly unlikely to make an impact in fantasy.
