Canucks scratch Zack Kassian for Thursday's game vs. Flyers

Zack Kassian is a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.

Analysis:

Kassian was on the ice for the Canucks' morning skate and didn't appear to suffer any sort of injury, so it's believed coach Willie Desjardins simply made the decision to give the winger a night off. Linden Vey is slated to assume Kassian's spot in the lineup.
