One of each Tuesday Sasson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Impact Sasson scored in the third period and set up Paul Cotter's game-winner in overtime. After a 19-point effort over 66 games last season, Sasson looks poised for a full-time spot in the Canucks' lineup in 2026-27. He centered the third line Tuesday, but he doesn't have a clear path to a top-six role. The 26-year-old also doesn't add much non-scoring production typically, so he won't make for a strong fantasy option most of the time.

Sets tone in win Sasson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Sasson opened the scoring just 29 seconds into the game, setting the tone for what ended up being one of the most surprising contests of the season. He also set up a Teddy Blueger tally in the second period. Sasson had been scratched for the previous two contests, slipping into a part-time role due to his seven-game slump. He's now at 12 goals, 17 points, 58 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 27 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Two points in win Friday Sasson scored an empty-net goal and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Sasson scored a goal for the first time since Jan. 19 and also recorded his first multi-point effort since Nov. 26, when he had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 win over the Ducks. Sasson is having a career-best season in 2025-26. He has 11 goals and 14 points in 52 games, although his fourth-line role in one of the worst offenses in the NHL isn't exactly commanding a lot of fantasy appeal.

He's at 12 points, 47 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 18 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 46 outings.

Impact 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.
