After being involved in a car accident early yesterday morning, Zack Kassian has entered the NHL/NHLPA joint Substance and Behavioural Health Program. This means he is suspended without pay until program doctors agree he is healthy enough to return.
Earlier today, general manager Marc Bergevin spoke to the media about how disappointed he was in Kassian for what transpired in regards to the car accident.
Captain Max Pacioretty said that the players would be there for Kassian if he needed it. Kassian's former captain on the Vancouver Canucks also spoke about Kassian today, and hoped that he would get the help he needs.
