EDGE Analysis

Pettersson hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 5. He has eight goals and 22 points in 28 outings in 2025-26. David Kampf is projected to serve in a top-six role Sunday, but Kampf might shift to the third line once Pettersson is ready to return.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson is set to miss his third straight game due to the injury. He has eight goals and 22 points in 28 appearances this season. He was considered doubtful for the match against the Sabres, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise, but Pettersson might not be gone for too much longer -- he's expected to travel with the Canucks on their upcoming five-game road trip, which means there's still a chance he plays Sunday in New Jersey.

Pettersson (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Wild, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson left warmups before line rushes started. The 27-year-old's absence will have a ripple effect throughout the Canucks' lineup, allowing Jonathan Lekkerimaki to stay in after he was previously in line to be scratched. Pettersson's status should be updated during or after Saturday's contest.

Pettersson scored a goal and had five shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson found the back of the net with a wrister at the 3:04 mark of the second period, a goal that would give the Canucks a temporary 2-1 lead. Pettersson has been playing at a high level of late and has cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last eight appearances, tallying 11 points (five goals, six assists) in that span.

Pettersson scored a power-play goal on six shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson's point streak is up to five games (four goals, five assists), and this was his first performance in that span that didn't feature multiple points. The 27-year-old's been streaky in the past, but if this recent uptick on offense sticks, his buy-low window in fantasy won't last long. Pettersson has seven goals, 20 points (eight on the power play), 39 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 24 hits and a minus-5 rating through 22 appearances this season.

Pettersson scored two goals in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The tallies came midway through the second period and early in the third as the Canucks mounted a comeback from a 5-2 deficit, but after they found an equalizer, the Panthers pulled away for good. Pettersson has reeled off four straight multi-point performances as he begins to recapture the form he was flashing a few years ago, and on the season, the 27-year-old center has six goals and 19 points in 21 games.
