Pettersson (undisclosed) may still play before the end of the regular season but has only started skating, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, the fact that Pettersson hasn't resumed practicing with his teammates would seem to point to him being out of action for at least another week -- though it could certainly be longer. Pius Suter figures to continue filling the first-line center role until Pettersson is given the all-clear.

Pettersson (undisclosed) returned to Vancouver and will miss the remainder of the team's road trip this week, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

That timeline rules out Pettersson for at least the next four games, starting with Monday's matchup versus New Jersey. He had three goals and six assists during a six-game point streak before getting hurt in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers. With Pettersson and Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) unavailable, Pius Suter will center the top line, while Aatu Raty and Linus Karlsson will occupy bottom-six roles against the Devils.

Head coach Rick Tocchet said Sunday that Pettersson (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson sustained an undisclosed injury during Saturday's loss to the Rangers, and he was unable to participate in Sunday's practice session. Tocchet said that Pettersson was still sore Sunday, so the 26-year-old forward's status certainly appears to be up in the air ahead of Monday's game against the Devils. Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) is also banged up, and Aatu Raty and Linus Karlsson are candidates to enter the lineup if either Pettersson or Hoglander are sidelined.

Pettersson (undisclosed) sat out the third period in Vancouver's 5-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson appeared to suffer an injury on a faceoff during the second period. He returned to the game briefly before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Pettersson entered Saturday's action with 15 goals and 45 points in 63 games this season.

Pettersson dished two assists, blocked two shots and tallied three hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Pettersson's helpers were to linemate Brock Boeser in the third period of Thursday's contest. Pettersson is back to looking like his point-per-game self and currently has a six-game point streak. The 26-year-old center is up to 30 assists, 45 points and 109 shots on net in 63 appearances this season. While the majority of this season has been underwhelming for Pettersson, he could still have a large impact down the stretch. Given his successful track record, he is worth adding in all formats and should be a lineup lock while playing this well.

Pettersson notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists) after he helped out on a Nils Hoglander buzzer-beater at the end of the first period. The 26-year-old Pettersson is up to 43 points, 109 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-11 rating through 62 appearances. Fantasy managers who stuck with the Swede all season should have him in the lineup now that he's surging on offense.

Pettersson produced a power-play assist, six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson is on a four-game point streak (three goals, three assists), which is one game shy of matching his longest of the season. He's stepping up when it counts as the Canucks continue to battle for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and he's rewarding patient fantasy managers along the way. The 26-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 27 helpers, 16 power-play points, 108 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 69 hits and a minus-12 rating over 61 outings this season.

Pettersson scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson helped out on a Quinn Hughes tally in the first period and then scored a goal of his own in the third. This was Pettersson's second multi-point game in a row, and he has four goals and two assists over his last five outings. The 26-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 41 points, 107 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-10 rating through 60 appearances. His offense getting on track will help fantasy managers in their playoff matchups as well as give the Canucks a boost in the wild-card race.

Pettersson scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson's third-period tally tied the game at 3-3, and he also contributed one of the Canucks' two shootout goals. The 26-year-old center had not recorded multiple points in a game since Dec. 23 versus the Sharks, a contest that he left early due to an undisclosed injury. Pettersson is heating up with three goals and four points over his last four outings, and he's at 14 goals, 39 points (15 on the power play), 106 shots on net, 61 hits, 68 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 59 appearances this season.

Pettersson scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Montreal. He also recorded four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson found the back of the net midway through the third period to pull the Canucks within one goal of the tie, but the Canucks couldn't pull off the come back. The 26-year-old has scored twice over his last three games, with both goals coming with the man advantage, and that helped snap a 15-game goalless drought in which he only recorded five assists while taking 21 shots on goal.
