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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
