Pettersson picked up an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over Philadephia.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson is off to a wobbly start. The assist was his second point of the season, and he has no goals. It's convenient to hang his slow start on the hangover from his lucrative new contract. But Pettersson hasn't scored an even-strength goal in 30 games, including the playoffs. He has played 450:29 even-strength time on ice in that span, recording just 32 shots. Vancouver will go as far as Pettersson can take them, and right now, he's scuffling.
