Canucks' Max Sasson: Scores with lone shot Thursday
Rotowire
Sasson scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
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.

Rotowire
Sasson scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
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.

Rotowire
Sasson agreed to terms on a one-year, $775,000 contract with Vancouver on Monday, PuckPedia reports.
Sasson's new deal is a one-way contract, so he should be expected to earn a roster spot coming out of training camp. During his 2024-25 campaign, the 24-year-old center saw action in 29 regular-season outings for the Canucks, notching three goals, four assists, 31 shots on net and 18 hits.
