Kassian (finger) was activated from injured reserve Friday, Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province reports.

Analysis:

Kassian received clearance for full contact a day earlier and skated as a member of the Canucks' third line at Friday's practice. After a strong season in 2013-14, Kassian has taken a step backward thus far, registering only two goals in 17 games. Now healthy, he'll look to get back on track with his return to the lineup Saturday against the Kings, with Linden Vey heading to the press box as a healthy scratch.
