Sasson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sasson was sent to the minors in late January, but he'll rejoin the Canucks to provide additional depth since Elias Pettersson (undisclosed), Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (concussion) are all sidelined. Over 24 appearances with Vancouver this year, he's recorded two goals, four assists, 14 hits and 13 blocked shots while averaging 10:06 of ice time.
