Sasson was promoted from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
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.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Heads to AHL
Rotowire
Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
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.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Sasson was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
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.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
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.

Canucks' Max Sasson: First multi-point effort
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Point in NHL debut
Rotowire
Sasson picked up an assist in his NHL debut Saturday, a 4-3 win over the Senators.
He lured the defense toward him, pulled up and found Teddy Blueger trailing. Sasson played 7:49 and finished plus-1. And he earned the requisite shaving cream bomb from teammates in a TV interview after the game. Sasson is a bottom-six guy with a motor that never quits. His fantasy game is limited, but his enthusiasm is great to watch.
