Pettersson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson has a helper in two straight games and seven of his last 12 outings. The 28-year-old helped out on Dakota Joshua's insurance tally in the third period. Pettersson is up to 10 assists in 28 outings with the Canucks, a slightly slower scoring pace than he had with the Penguins earlier in the season. He's at a total of 28 points, 67 shots on net, 140 blocked shots, 77 hits and a plus-7 rating across 75 appearances. If his offense stays warm, he could match his career high of 30 points, which he set last season.

Pettersson recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson has done fine on offense lately with seven helpers over his last 13 contests. The 28-year-old blueliner helped out on a Dakota Joshua tally at 14:10 of the first period, which gave the Canucks a 5-1 lead after a flurry of scoring. Pettersson is at 26 points, 65 shots on net, 77 hits, 134 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 72 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins this season. He's likely to fall short of the 30-point mark after reaching it last year, but he's earned his second-highest point total in his career in 2024-25.

Pettersson provided an assist and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson has three helpers over his last five contests. He's started to settle in nicely on the Canucks' second pairing, but he'll always be more productive in the defensive categories than the scoring ones. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 22 points, 58 shots on net, 73 hits, 120 blocks and a minus-2 rating over 64 outings between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.

Pettersson notched an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson played alongside Quinn Hughes at even strength in this contest. The 28-year-old Pettersson has a helper in back-to-back games and three assists over six outings in March. For the season, the shutdown defenseman is at 21 points, 57 shots on net, 69 hits, 108 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 61 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins.

Pettersson provided an assist, two shots on goal, three hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
This was Pettersson's second helper over five games in March after he was held off the scoresheet in his first month with the Canucks. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to see heavy minutes in a top-four role, and that's mostly as a shutdown blueliner, which limits his scoring potential. He's at 20 points -- a level he's reached five times in his eight-year career -- while adding 56 shots on net, 67 hits, 104 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 60 appearances between Vancouver and Pittsburgh this season.

Pettersson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson had not earned a point in his first eight games with the Canucks. The 28-year-old blueliner changed that by helping out on a goal by fellow trade acquisition Filip Chytil in the first period. Pettersson's offered decent offense from the blue line in past seasons, but his primary role is to shutdown the opponent's top forwards. He's at 19 points, 51 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-1 rating through 56 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.

Pettersson was a plus-1 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The return of Quinn Hughes (oblique) pushed Pettersson down the depth chart to the second pair with Tyler Myers for Wednesday's contest. It's the first time that the full defensive corps has been healthy for the Canucks since the former Penguin arrived via trade Feb. 1. Pettersson has been solid defensively, but maybe the team achieving full health is what is needed for the 28-year-old to unlock the offensive part of his game that has been missing since joining Vancouver. He remains pointless in seven games with his new team.

Pettersson signed a six-year, $33 million contract extension with the Canucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was acquired via trade with the Penguins last Friday, and it took the Canucks little time to get him a new deal. This new contract will take him through his age-34 campaign. Pettersson hasn't recorded a point for his new team, but he's at 18 points, 46 shots on net, 60 hits, 86 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 49 appearances this season. He should be a top-four fixture in Vancouver for years to come.
