Kassian, with his shoulder, hit Czech forward Petr Senkerik with 14:07 remaining in the second period of Canada's 7-2 victory. Senkerik dropped immediately to the ice, motionless and was wheeled off on a stretcher.
Senkerik remained in the Czech dressing room.
A few times zones away, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said he saw "one quick replay" of the play and had no immediate comment.
