Pettersson scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson opened the scoring at 16:14 of the first period. He snapped a 15-game goal drought in the process, and during that span, he was limited to five assists and 21 shots on net. The 26-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 36 points, 100 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-8 rating through 56 appearances. Pettersson is just two years removed from a 39-goal, 102-point campaign, but 2024-25 will go down as a forgettable year on his ledger, one the Canucks will hope he can bounce back from quickly.

Pettersson logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson set up a Jake DeBrusk tally in the second period. The goal drought continues for Pettersson -- he's come up empty on 17 shots over his last 11 games, and that low of a volume is concern enough. He's at least salvaged some offense with five assists in that span, but that's not enough for a top-line center. He's now at 35 points, 93 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating across 51 appearances.

Pettersson (undisclosed) will play Saturday versus Vegas, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was a game-time decision due to an injury sustained while playing for Team Sweden during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has 11 goals and 34 points in 49 outings with Vancouver this season. Pettersson will play between Jake DeBrusk and Kiefer Sherwood against the Golden Knights.

Pettersson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash against Vegas, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson sustained the injury while playing for Team Sweden during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has 11 goals and 34 points in 49 appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. If Pettersson can't play Saturday, Pius Suter will probably see an increased workload.

Pettersson is dealing with an injury he sustained while playing for Team Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off. He is considered day-to-day, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Golden Knights due to the injury, but it's unclear how long he'll be out. The 26-year-old center has 34 points over 49 appearances this season, and his top-six role for the Canucks will be tough for other players to fill during the length of his absence.

Pettersson notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson set up a Filip Hronek tally in the first period. The assist was Pettersson's first point over four contests in February. The 26-year-old center has just 34 points with 92 shots on net, 46 hits, 60 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 49 outings in a frustrating 2024-25 campaign. He'll play for Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off, and maybe he'll be able to build up some momentum in international play to fuel a strong finish to his NHL season.

Pettersson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson has a helper in consecutive contests. It's the first time he's gotten on the scoresheet in back-to-back games since a five-game streak from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. The 26-year-old center is up to 11 goals, 21 assists, 86 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-3 rating through 44 appearances. Pettersson is at risk of missing the 60-point mark if he continues to struggle -- he's reached that threshold in all but one campaign in his career, with the exception being 2020-21, when he was limited to 26 of 56 games.

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

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

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