DeFazio inked a deal with KHL Kunlun Red Star on Tuesday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeFazio will join the KHL's China based Red Star following a decent season with AHL Texas in which he compiled 22 goals and 25 helpers in 76 contests. While he has only played in two NHL games, the winger has put up solid number in the minors and could get another shot to land with an NHL club. Additionally, the 28-year-old may be on Canada's radar for the 2018 Winter Olympics, assuming the NHL does follow through with their threat of not breaking for the international competition.

DeFazio signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Bruins on Monday. DeFazio, who played two games for the Canucks last season, gives the B's organization some added depth up front and the 26-year-old could compete for a fourth-line role with the big club in training camp.

DeFazio was reassigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday. The move would seem to suggest that one of either Radim Vrbata (leg) or Derek Dorsett (undisclosed) will be ready to play Friday against the Coyotes, as the Canucks only have 11 other healthy forwards. DeFazio didn't make much of an impact his first NHL stint, going scoreless while averaging 5:57 of ice time over two games.

DeFazio was recalled from AHL Utica on Sunday, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports. DeFazio will likely take the place of either Derek Dorsett or Radim Vrbata, who are both questionable at best for Monday's game. In 13 games with AHL Utica, the 26-year-old scored four goals and assisted on two more. He will be making his NHL debut Sunday assuming he does in fact dress.
