Pettersson notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 defeat to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Despite his inability to find the back of the net, Pettersson has been rolling with eight helpers in his previous 10 contests. The Swedish blueliner is averaging 16:34 of ice time, but could see a dip in minutes once Justin Schultz (lower leg) is cleared to return.

Pettersson registered a pair of assists in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old is still searching for his first goal of 2018-19, but regardless, Pettersson continues to rack up assists. His two helpers give him five over his last four games and 12 on the year. The young blueliner was a team-best plus-3 versus the Panthers and also dropped the gloves to finish with five penalty minutes.

Pettersson is averaging 15:46 of ice time with the Penguins, compared to 14:01 when he was with the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Since joining the Pittsburgh, Pettersson has played in every game (11) and has tallied 14 shots, 12 blocks and 16 hits, but is still looking for his first point in a Penguins uniform. While he may be a lock for the lineup now, Pettersson could find himself up in the press box once Justin Schultz (lower leg) is cleared to return.

Pettersson will make his Penguins debut Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins traded Daniel Sprong to the Ducks in exchange for Pettersson on Monday, and the team will immediately see what he brings to the table. Pettersson played 27 games for the Ducks this year and collected six assists.

Pettersson was shipped to the Penguins in exchange for Daniel Sprong on Monday, Frank Seravalli of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was a case of two teams dealing from a position of strength to shore up a position of need. Sprong couldn't crack the Penguins' lineup, but will have a chance with Anaheim. Pettersson, meanwhile, was going to have to fight for a playing time once the Ducks were fully healthy on defense. The 22-year-old has shown some potential this year, though. Through 27 games he has six points, all assists. However, the fact he only has 15 shots on goal is a concern.

Pettersson notched a helper in a 5-2 loss at the hands of the Predators on Sunday. He also played 20:14, including 2:01 on the power play.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson's minutes were way up in this game, especially on the power play. This is probably mostly because Hampus Lindholm (lower body) and Cam Fowler (face) are both on injured reserve. For now, the 22-year-old will have a bigger role, but we're still talking about a guy with 10 shots on goal through 23 games.

Pettersson was recalled to the Ducks and will play Tuesday versus the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
With Josh Manson (upper body) as a game-time decision, Pettersson was an easy recall from AHL San Diego. Pettersson has already played in 11 NHL games this season and posted one assist. He shouldn't be considered a fantasy asset at this time.

Pettersson was reassigned to AHL San Diego ahead of Sunday's home game against the Sharks, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petterson traded places on the organizational depth chart with Andy Welinski. The former only has one helper through 11 games this season, so it probably won't hurt for the Swede to refine his game with the top developmental affiliate.

Pettersson notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Pettersson has just one shot on goal through the first four games and is averaging a paltry 12:56 of ice time, he's not exactly racking up fantasy production. The Swede's hold on the third pairing spot is likely tenuous at best, as Andrej Sustr could challenge for minutes and Korbinian Holzer (wrist) returning to the lineup may also serve to bump Pettersson from his spot.

Pettersson scored one goal and added three helpers in 22 games during 2017-18.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson worked mainly in the bottom defensive pairing, as he averaged just 13:37 of ice time. The 21-year-old didn't shy away from NHL play, though, as he dished out 18 hits and stepped in front of 27 shots. Pettersson also spent 44 games with AHL San Diego and posted zero goals and 14 points. The Swedish blueliner's contract expires this summer, but the Ducks will likely retain him since they trusted him in all four playoff contests.
