  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Tallies in Tuesday's loss

    Pettersson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Pettersson ended his five-game goal drought, which covered all the time since he returned from an undisclosed injury. He had just one assist in that span. The 26-year-old is up to 11 goals, 30 points, 76 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-6 rating through 40 appearances. He's still seeing top-six minutes, but his 0.75 points-per-game pace is the worst of his career.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: First point since return

    Pettersson notched an assist and five blocked shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Pettersson got on the scoresheet early in his second game back from an undisclosed injury. He helped out on a Brock Boeser tally just 31 seconds into this game. Pettersson saw just 16:08 of ice time, but the Canucks rested a handful of key forwards while in control of this contest, which was the second half of a back-to-back. The 26-year-old center is at 10 goals, 19 helpers, 67 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-3 rating through 36 outings. Getting Pettersson in peak form will be key for the Canucks to keep their place in what could be a tight wild-card race over the second half of the campaign.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Activated off IR

    Pettersson (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with Carolina.

    Pettersson's return to action will almost certainly see him retake a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to his six-game absence, the 26-year-old center was struggling offensively with just two points in his last seven appearances. At this point, Pettersson should probably be expected to miss the 80-point mark for the first time since 2021-22 but could still push for 60 if he gets out of his funk soon.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Still not ready

    Pettersson (undisclosed) remains on injured reserve and is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Capitals, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Pettersson was labeled a game-time decision, but it looks like he'll miss his sixth straight contest. The 26-year-old forward is likely getting close to a return, so it's possible he'll be ready in time for either Friday's game against the Hurricanes or Saturday's contest in Toronto.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Game-time call Wednesday

    Pettersson will be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Washington, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

    Pettersson has missed the Canucks' past five games. He has 10 goals and 28 points over 34 outings in 2024-25. If Pettersson plays Wednesday, he'll likely serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit. Pius Suter could shift out of the top six if Pettersson plays.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Unlikely to play Monday

    Pettersson (undisclosed) is doubtful for Monday's road game against the Canadiens, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    While head coach Rick Tocchet said that he'd check on Pettersson after the Canucks' morning skate Monday, Tocchet also said that he doesn't think the 26-year-old will be able to return to action against Montreal. Assuming Pettersson is sidelined, Jonathan Lekkerimaki could enter the lineup after being recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Placed on injured reserve

    Pettersson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Dec. 23.

    Pettersson has already missed three games, and he is eligible to return whenever he's ready. Earlier Friday, Pettersson was labeled close to a return and will be on the Canucks' road trip that begins Monday in Montreal. Arturs Silovs was called up from AHL Abbotsford in a corresponding move Friday.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Nearing return

    Head coach Rick Tocchet said Friday that Pettersson (undisclosed) will travel with the Canucks on their upcoming road trip and is "getting close" to returning, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    Pettersson has been sidelined since sustaining an injury against the Sharks on Dec. 23, but he's trending in the right direction. Vancouver's road trip begins in Montreal on Monday, and while it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for that matchup, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action before the Canucks return home to face the Kings on Jan. 16.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Won't travel with team

    Pettersson (undisclosed) won't travel with the Canucks for their upcoming games in Calgary on Tuesday and Seattle on Thursday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

    Coach Rick Tocchet described Pettersson as "a week away," so the star forward might also miss Friday's home tilt against Nashville. The 26-year-old Pettersson has 10 goals and 28 points in 34 appearances in 2024-25. Conor Garland is likely to continue to serve in the top six while Pettersson is unavailable.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Ruled out

    Pettersson (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Seattle, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Pettersson was forced out of Monday's game after suffering an apparent injury in the second period and will now miss Saturday's contest as well. Max Sasson is expected to enter the lineup in a bottom-six role in Pettersson's absence. The 26-year-old center's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Calgary.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Doubtful for Saturday

    Pettersson (undisclosed) is considered doubtful to play Saturday versus the Kraken, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    Pettersson suffered the injury Monday against the Sharks, and it's concerning that he wasn't able to fully heal over the holiday break. Max Sasson will probably draw into the lineup in the likely event Pettersson doesn't play Saturday.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Leaves Monday's game

    Pettersson (undisclosed) departed Monday's 4-3 win against the Sharks after suffering an injury in the second period, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Head coach Rick Tocchet relayed that Pettersson tried one shift in the third period before leaving the contest. Tocchet also said "We've got the break. I don't think it's too bad. We'll see how it is." The 26-year-old Pettersson scored two goals on four shots in 14:56 of ice time before exiting, snapping a six-game point drought in the process. The Swedish center's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's divisional matchup against the Kraken.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: One of each Tuesday

    Pettersson scored a power-play goal on five shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

    Pettersson helped the Canucks dig out of a two-goal hole, but they still fell in the extra session. This was his third multi-point effort over five games in December, and it snapped a five-game goal drought. The center is up to eight tallies, 26 points (eight on the power play), 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 32 hits through 27 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Sets up empty-netter

    Pettersson notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Pettersson fed Pius Suter for an empty-net tally in the third period. The helper extended Pettersson's point streak to five games (one goal, eight assists). The center has multiple points in seven of his last 13 outings, turning things around after a lackluster October. Pettersson is up to seven goals, 17 helpers, 48 shots on net, 32 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 25 contests this season.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Supplies two more assists

    Pettersson notched two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Pettersson has earned five multi-point efforts over his last nine games, totaling three goals and 11 helpers in that span. One of his assists Tuesday came on the power play. The 26-year-old center is up to a total of seven goals, 16 helpers, seven power-play points, 47 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating over 24 outings this season. He can do better than just achieving a point-per-game pace, but he's made significant progress from how he started the campaign.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Trio of apples Sunday

    Pettersson had three assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Detroit.

    Pettersson helped Vancouver tie the game on two occasions before setting up Jake DeBrusk's game-winner in the extra frame. The 26-year-old Pettersson is red hot with 12 points (three goals) over his last eight games, and he's been held off the scoresheet only twice in his last 11 contests. The Swedish center has developed chemistry with DeBrusk, and they were joined by Brock Boeser on the top line Sunday. Pettersson is tied for second on the Canucks with 21 points through 23 games.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: One of each in defeat

    Pettersson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in 17:17 of ice time Wednesday in a 5-4 loss to the Penguins.

    Pettersson had a four-game point streak snapped against Boston on Tuesday, but his goal and assist in the final frame Wednesday marked his third multi-point effort in his last four games. The Swedish center has excelled in November by producing 13 points while getting on the scoresheet in eight of 12 contests. After a sluggish start to the 2024-25 campaign in October, the 26-year-old appears to have turned a corner on offense, and he'll be heavily relied upon while the Canucks are without J.T. Miller (personal). Pettersson ranks third on Vancouver in scoring with seven goals and 10 assists through 21 games.
