Sasson was promoted from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks sent Sasson to the minors Wednesday in what was a paper transaction. Sasson has two goals and six points in 19 games with Vancouver this season. He has been a healthy scratch in his last two games in the NHL and is likely to spend Thursday's tilt against the Kings in the press box.

Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This might just be a paper transaction, and Sasson would be recalled ahead of Thursday's tilt against LA if it is. Then again, Sasson was a healthy scratch in each of the Canucks' past two games. He has two goals and six points in 19 outings with Vancouver in 2024-25.

Sasson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson ended a four-game point drought with the tally. He was also scratched twice in that span, as his spot on the fourth line is not yet secure. The 24-year-old forward has contributes two goals, four assists, 16 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 15 appearances.

Sasson was called up from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson has played well in limited duty with the Canucks. The 24-year-old has one goal, four assists, a plus-3 rating and 11 shots on goal in 12 games while averaging only 9:57 of ice time. Sasson will likely see bottom-six minutes versus the Kraken on Saturday if he enters the lineup.

Sasson was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson has been a healthy scratch in each of Vancouver's past three games, but he's offered flashes of his potential in limited minutes -- the 24-year-old has accounted for one goal, four assists and a plus-3 rating through 12 appearances. The Michigan native could be back with the big club in the near future.

Sasson scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson continues to be juggled between the NHL and AHL for cap purposes, but he looks like he's NHL-ready at this point. He scored his first NHL goal Saturday and has three points over his last two outings. Overall, the 24-year-old has five points, eight shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 10 appearances as a rookie.

Sasson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson had a pair of assists and logged a career-high 13:00 of ice time Thursday. He has four assists in nine NHL games this season. The 24-year-old is likely going to center the fourth line versus Boston on Saturday.

Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sasson has four assists in nine appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. The timing of this demotion is a touch awkward because Sasson registered two assists in the Canucks' 4-0 win over Florida on Thursday. Vancouver also demoted Aatu Raty is a corresponding move, which leaves the Canucks with 11 forwards on their roster. Unless a trade happens, Vancouver will presumably recall Sasson or another forward before Saturday's tilt against the Bruins.

Sasson notched two assists, two shots on goal, a plus-2 rating and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Sasson's first multi-point effort at the NHL level, snapping a six-game slump. He had opened his career with an assist in each of his first two outings. If the 24-year-old stays in the NHL moving forward, he'll likely have to play on the wing -- the return of J.T. Miller (personal) gives the Canucks their preferred options at center. Sasson has four helpers, seven shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through nine contests.
