Zack Kassian Suspended, Placed in Substance-Abuse Program by NHL

The NHL announced Monday it placed Montreal Canadiens forward Zack Kassian in Stage 2 of the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program following his car crash over the weekend.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the 24-year-old was a passenger in a truck that collided with a tree in a Montreal borough early Sunday morning. Kassian suffered nose and foot fractures in the accident.

"I do not have all the information, but it is disappointing to say the least," said Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin, per Sportsnet's Luke Fox.
