Sasson scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson has scored in consecutive contests and in three of his last six games. The 25-year-old is holding onto a bottom-six role for the Canucks, who are still missing multiple centers, though Sasson could move to the wing when the team is healthier. He's produced a decent eight goals, two assists, 34 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits over 33 appearances this season.

Sasson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
This was Sasson's first point in three games since he signed a two-year contract extension Monday. The 25-year-old has emerged as a valuable part of the Canucks' bottom six, though he hasn't produced a lot of offense. He's at seven goals, nine points, 32 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 32 appearances this year.

Sasson inked a two-year, $2 million contract extension with the Canucks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson will receive a slight bump in salary from his current $775,000 AAV. The 25-year-old's new deal is set to kick in next season and will keep him with Vancouver through the 2027-28 campaign. Sasson has accounted for six goals, eight points, 30 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 29 appearances this season, mostly in a bottom-six capacity.

Sasson scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks' ongoing injury woes have allowed Sasson to maintain a bottom-six spot in the lineup. He snapped a six-game point drought with the goal, though he's been effective in small bursts at times this year. He's now at six goals, eight points, 30 shots on net, 16 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 28 appearances. That production is right in line with what he did as a rookie in 2024-25, but it's not really enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Sasson scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson earned his first multi-point effort of the season with this outing. He has two goals and two assists over his last six appearances. The 25-year-old forward has maintained a bottom-six role for much of the season, compiling five goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 21 contests. He has matched his point total (seven) in eight fewer games than last year.

Sasson scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson ended a 10-game point drought with the first-period tally. The Canucks would likely have turned to someone else to center the fourth line if they were healthier, but that won't be an option until one or both of Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (upper body) are able to return to action. Sasson has four goals, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances so far in 2025-26.

Sasson scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson has found the back of the net in three of his five appearances this season. He's been extremely effective since he has three goals on six shots, so it'd be fair to expect some regression in the efficiency department. Still, the 25-year-old should continue to have opportunities to produce as long as he remains in a top-six role for Vancouver.

Sasson scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) returned to action Friday, but Sasson stayed in the lineup over Aatu Raty. That may not always be the case, but Sasson has two goals on four shots over his two NHL outings this season, so he's made a good early impression. The 25-year-old should be able to play more often than not if he can contribute semi-regularly on offense.

Sasson scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson made his season debut for the Canucks and scored their go-ahead goal in the second period. The 25-year-old center looks to have a chance to hold down a fourth-line gig until Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) is ready to return. Sasson played in a similar role at times in 2024-25, earning seven points over 29 appearances in his first taste of NHL action.

Sasson will be recalled from AHL Abbotsford, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Canucks will return Braeden Cootes to WHL Seattle. The 25-year-old Sasson has two goals in two minor-league outings this campaign. During the 2024-25 regular season, he had three goals, four assists, 31 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and 18 hits in 29 appearances with Vancouver.
