In the following season Sawada was on February 19, 2009 at the home game against the Edmonton Oilers his debut in the National Hockey League , but completed most of the season with the Manitoba Moose from the AHL.

In December 2013 he moved to Europe to Tappara Tampere , where he was under contract until the end of the season.
