Ashton Sautner (born May 27, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing for the Manitoba Moose in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Playing career
[edit]Sautner was selected by the Edmonton Oil Kings in the eighth round (162nd overall) of the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft. During the 2013–14 season, Sautner's plus/minus record was the best in the WHL.[1]
Sautner went to the Minnesota Wild prospect camp before the 2012-13 season. He attended the Arizona Coyotes prospect camp in the 2014 pre-season. During his fourth season with the Oil Kings, despite being undrafted, Sautner was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Vancouver Canucks on March 14, 2015.[2] On March 24, 2018, the Canucks recalled Sautner on an emergency basis.[3] He made his NHL debut the following night, a 4–1 Canucks victory over the Dallas Stars.[4] Three games later, on March 31 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Sautner earned his first NHL point, an assist on a Darren Archibald goal.[5]
Sautner began the 2018–19 season with the Utica Comets in the AHL after clearing waivers.[6] On February 19, he was recalled to the NHL for the first time that season.[7]
After attending the Canucks training camp for the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Sautner was initially assigned to the Utica Comets. On January 20, 2021, Sautner was re-assigned by the Canucks to the Winnipeg Jets AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, due to shorter quarantine recall regulations.[8] After appearing in two games with Manitoba, he was recalled by Vancouver and spent the rest of the year with the Canucks organization.[9]
Following his sixth season under contract with the Vancouver Canucks, Sautner as a free agent opted to continue within the organization, signing a one-year AHL contract with the inaugural affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks, on August 13, 2021.[10] In the 2021–22 season, Sautner added 1 assist through 18 games with Abbotsford before he was signed to a one-year, two-way NHL contract with the Canucks on December 18, 2021.[11]
On July 15, 2022, Sautner as a free agent was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets.[12]
On July 3, 2024, Sautner continued within the Jets organization in agreeing to extend his tenure with the Manitoba Moose in signing a two-year AHL contract.[13]
