Edmonton Oilers forward Zack Kassian has been banned seven contests for kicking Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Friday.
Kassian extended his leg toward Cernak's chest in the first period Thursday night. The Edmonton winger wasn't penalized for the incident.
It's the second suspension for Kassian in 2020. The league handed him a two-game ban in January for his role in an altercation with Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk.
