Pettersson registered an assist against the Avs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was mired in a six-game pointless streak and had been a healthy scratch for the Penguins' previous two contests. The blueliner still hasn't scored a goal in 58 consecutive contests dating back to Oct. 23 versus the Leafs, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him suddenly providing an offensive upside in the final weeks of the season.

Pettersson posted an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson took control after a Ducks turnover and fed Jeff Carter for the opening tally 1:05 into the game. In his last six games, Pettersson has distributed five assists. It's an unusually productive run for the Swede, who has 11 points, 31 shots on net, 56 hits and a plus-11 rating in 31 contests overall. He may have some short-term appeal in deeper fantasy formats if he can keep piling up helpers.

Pettersson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson helped out on Danton Heinen's second-period tally. The 25-year-old Pettersson has contributed a modest three assists in his last 12 games. For the season, the Swedish blueliner is up to seven points, 29 shots, 50 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 26 contests.

Pettersson recorded an assist and five hits in Monday's 6-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson has just two assists in his last 12 games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old is up to six points in 21 contests overall, but he produced half of his offense this year in a three-point effort against the Maple Leafs on Oct. 23. The Swede has added 45 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating, but he can't be relied on for steady offense.

Pettersson (undisclosed) will be available Sunday against the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson was activated from the COVID-19 list Sunday but was also injured in Thursday's win over the Panthers. Fortunately, the injury won't keep him out of another game. The 25-year-old blueliner has four points and an impressive plus-7 rating through nine games this season.

Pettersson was removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Sunday's game in Washington. However, he left Thursday's game against Florida with an undisclosed injury, and it's not clear if he's still dealing with that issue or not.
EDGE Analysis
There's a good chance Pettersson will play, but it's a unique situation since the only reason he was put back into COVID-19 protocols was because of quarantine requirements for entering Canada. Interested fantasy managers should wait to see if the defenseman takes pregame warmups around 6:30 p.m. EST to see if he's playing against the Capitals.

Pettersson, who is also dealing with an undisclosed injury, has entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and will not play Saturday in Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson tested positive for COVID-19 at the start of November, and though he'd returned to game action, Canada requires those who test positive to quarantine for 14 days. Given that Pettersson was injured Thursday against the Panthers, it's unclear at this point if he'll be ready for Sunday's game in Washington.

Pettersson suffered an undisclosed injury in the first period of Thursday's game versus the Panthers. He had not returned to the bench by the start of the third period, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson, in his first game back from the COVID-19 protocols, didn't play after heading to the locker room with 6:55 left in the first period. It's unclear how the Swede was injured. If he doesn't return to Thursday's game, an update should surface before Saturday's game against the Senators.

Pettersson has officially been activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and is expected to return to action Thursday versus Florida, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson is expected to return to a bottom-pairing role following his three-game absence. The 25-year-old blueliner has picked up four points through eight contests this campaign.

Pettersson (COVID-19) resumed skating Tuesday after clearing the league's COVID-19 protocols, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pettersson could be in the mix to return following his three-game absence if he is fit enough to play against the Panthers on Thursday. With Mark Friedman (lower body) sustaining an injury, the Penguins could certainly benefit from getting Pettersson and/or Chad Ruhwedel (COVID-19) back in the lineup.
