Impact Sasson will miss his second straight game after head coach Rick Tocchet relayed Saturday that the 24-year-old forward is "banged up." Considering Vancouver has nothing to play for, Sasson will probably be held out of the team's last game of the season Wednesday versus the Golden Knights.

Sasson could be back with the big club later in the campaign. He has six points over 24 NHL contests.
JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled by Canucks Sasson was promoted from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
Impact 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.
JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to AHL Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Impact 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 with Vancouver in 19 outings in 2024-25.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Finds twine in shootout win Sasson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
Impact 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.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from AHL Sasson was called up from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to AHL Sasson was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Scores lone goal in loss Sasson scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to NHL Sasson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.
Impact Sasson had a pair of assists Thursday, giving him four assists in nine NHL games this season. Sasson saw a career-high 13:00 of ice time Thursday and is likely going to center the fourth line versus Boston on Saturday.
DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to AHL Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
First multi-point effort 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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back with big club Sasson was summoned from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Impact Sasson has contributed two assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and six hits in seven NHL outings this season. He will probably occupy a fourth-line role against St. Louis on Tuesday.
DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Sasson was recalled by the Canucks on Thursday, and he recorded a hit while averaging 8:55 of ice time over two appearances during his stint with the NHL club. He's been shuffled between Vancouver and Abbotsford in recent weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Canucks at some point.
DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from AHL Sasson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
Impact Sasson was sent to the minors Wednesday but will rejoin the NHL club a day later. The 24-year-old has made five appearances for the Canucks this season, tallying two assists, five hits and two blocked shots while averaging 8:45 of ice time.
DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Reassigned to minors Sasson was moved to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Impact Sasson has two assists in five appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. His demotion gives Vancouver 11 available forwards unless J.T. Miller (personal) is ready to rejoin the team. It's likely that Vancouver will recall Sasson or another player before Friday's tilt against Columbus.
