Kassian cross-checked Durzi in the back during a scrum that broke out near centre ice. Kassian was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking and finished the game with one goal as the Kings went on to win the game 5-4 in overtime.

Kassian has a reputation of toeing the line when it comes to the hits he throws. He has been suspended on multiple occasions. His longest suspenion in the NHL was seven games for kicking Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak.
