Pettersson (upper body) was labeled a game-time decision against the Capitals on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson completed the team's full practice session Monday without suffering any apparent setbacks. If the 24-year-old blueliner does suit up, it would be his first game since Jan. 19 versus Washington, a stretch of nine games on the shelf. Chad Ruhwedel or Cody Ceci figures to be the odd-man-out in favor of Pettersson, who needs to be activated off injured reserve in order to play.
