Pettersson (undisclosed) will play Thursday versus the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was considered a game-time decision, but whatever issue he is dealing with is not enough to keep him out. The 26-year-old has just one assist over his last 14 games despite regularly playing in a top-four role.

Pettersson (undisclosed) is a game-time decision Thursday versus Vegas, per Penguins radio play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson didn't skate with the Penguins on Wednesday, but he was back on the ice Thursday. He has 11 assists in 37 games while averaging 20:48 of ice time this season. If Pettersson can't play, then Chad Ruhwedel will probably draw into the lineup.

Pettersson failed to register a point against the Hurricanes on Sunday, his 10th straight game without getting onto the scoresheet.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson is also still searching for his first goal of the 2022-23 campaign, though he's never scored more than two in a season, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting it any time soon. Despite his recent lack of production, the 26-year-old Swede's 10 points in 31 games does have him on pace to reach the 25-point mark for just the second time in his NHL career.

Pettersson logged an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson helped out on Rickard Rakell's second-period tally. The Penguins' defense has been a bit shaky this year, and that's allowed Pettersson to get a look alongside Kris Letang on the top pairing recently. Pettersson has made the most of his role lately with five assists in his last seven contests, and he has nine helpers in 19 outings overall. That pace would have him shatter his career-best mark of 22 points in 69 contests in 2019-20, but the 26-year-old probably can't maintain it. He's added 30 shots on net, 39 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating, so he may be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats despite a lack of power-play time.

Pettersson posted an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was bumped up to the top pairing Wednesday, as Brian Dumoulin has struggled defensively alongside Kris Letang in recent games. Pettersson's helper came on a Jake Guentzel empty-net goal in the third period. Through 13 contests, Pettersson has five assists, a plus-6 rating, 22 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 24 hits and eight PIM. He's got a physical element to his game, but a lack of power-play time severely caps his scoring potential.

Pettersson recorded an assist against Los Angeles on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Through four games this season, Pettersson has already racked up a trio of assists in addition to 13 hits and seven blocks. The 26-year-old blueliner has missed the 20-point threshold in each of the previous two seasons but appears to be on track to get back over that mark this year.

Pettersson posted an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson helped out on a Jeff Carter goal in the first period. The 26-year-old Pettersson has been limited to two assists in six playoff outings. He didn't add much physicality Friday, but he has 14 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in the postseason while holding onto a top-four role.

Pettersson scored a goal and two assists in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
He had gone eight straight games without a point coming into Friday, but he wrapped up the regular season with a big performance. Pettersson has scored exactly two goals in four straight campaigns, and his modest 19 points through 72 games is within the depth defenseman's usual range.
