<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Max Sasson has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) under emergency conditions.</p>
<p>&mdash; Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) <a href="https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1905628473604935888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 28, 2025</a></p></blockquote>

<p>It&#8217;s unknown whether <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/combinations">Sasson will be in the lineup</a> for the Canucks visit with the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/columbus-blue-jackets/line-combinations">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> on Friday night. At this point of the season, many players are battling ailments, including Conor Garland, who <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/schedule">didn&#8217;t play last Tuesday</a> against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/winnipeg-jets/line-combinations">Winnipeg Jets</a> with an undisclosed injury.</p>
<p>Sasson is still in the midst of his rookie season with the big club. He made his NHL debut on Nov. 23, picking up an assist in a 4-3 win over the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/ottawa-senators/line-combinations">Ottawa Senators</a>. In fact, the Birmingham, Michigan native picked up points in each of his first two games with Vancouver.</p>
<p>Sasson ended up appearing in 24 games from late November to late January, potting two goals and four assists for six points, registering a plus/minus of +3 while averaging a hair over 10 minutes of ice time per game. His first NHL goal came in the Canucks&#8217; 5-1 loss to the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/boston-bruins/line-combinations">Boston Bruins</a> on Dec. 14.</p>
<p>The former Western Michigan University star last saw action with Vancouver on Jan. 27, when the Canucks defeated the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/st-louis-blues/line-combinations">St. Louis Blues</a>.</p>
<p>Though he&#8217;s been in the minors, that hasn&#8217;t stopped Sasson <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/blackfish-max-sasson-fire-chl-playoffs-kick-off-tom-willander-update">from being the dynamic prospect</a> Canucks fans have grown to know. Since Feb. 23, the 24-year-old has posted 13 points in 11 games, scoring last Saturday against the Manitoba Moose.</p>
<p>In 37 games with Abbotsford, Sasson has scored nine goals and 17 assists for 26 points, a little off the pace he was on during his rookie year in the AHL, in which he notched 42 points in 56 games.</p>
<p>In 100 career appearances with Abbotsford, Sasson has posted 28 goals and 42 assists for 70 points, including four points in 12 Calder Cup Playoff games.</p>
<p>Dating back to his time with the Broncos and in junior hockey, Sasson has utilized his speed to make him a solid offensive weapon, which has carried over into the pro game.</p>
<p>The Canucks (34-26-12) could use some of that <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-playoff-push-jake-debrusk-scoring-streak-right-now">at the point of the season</a>. Sitting fourth in the Pacific Division, they are five points back of the Blues for the last Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.</p>
