Pearson (lower body) signed a three-year contract extension worth $3.25 million annually with the Canucks on Thursday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks were either going to lock Pearson down with an extension or trade him. The two sides were able to agree to a deal four days before the trade deadline. Pearson was quite impressive last season with 21 goals and 24 assists across 69 games, but he has accrued just six goals and five helpers this season. The 28-year-old has missed the last four games, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to go once the Canucks are cleared to play following a COVID-19 outbreak.

Pearson was placed on injured reserve Friday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply a paper move as Pearson was already expected to miss around a month with his lower-body injury.

Pearson will be sidelined for at least four weeks with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

With Pearson facing an extended absence, new addition Jimmy Vesey could be tasked with taking on an expanded role for the foreseeable future. Look for Pearson, who's picked up 11 points in 33 games this campaign, to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

Pearson (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game versus the Senators in the third period, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how exactly Pearson got hurt, but it was enough to keep him off the ice late in the contest. The 28-year-old winger had just shaken an 11-game point drought with a goal and an assist in two contests prior to Wednesday. More information on his status should be available before Friday's game in Montreal.

Pearson has been held off the scoresheet for the past eight contests.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson posted a career-high 45 points in 69 games last season. However, he has just five goals and four assists in 27 appearances this year. His shooting percentage is at 8.3%, a notable decrease from his career average 11.6%. A correction to the norm should mean more goals in the second half of the campaign, but he likely won't be able to replicate last year's totals.

Pearson scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson redirected a Quinn Hughes shot through Jacob Markstrom's five-hole just as a Flames penalty expired early in the first period. The goal snapped a four-game point drought for Pearson. The winger is up to five tallies, nine points, 44 shots on net, 22 PIM and 28 hits through 19 appearances this year.

Pearson scored a goal on a team-leading five shots to go with two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson found the net for the second straight game when he jammed home a loose puck 6:24 into the first period. The 28-year-old has collected at least one point in four of his last five games and in five of the past seven. Pearson has also recorded five-plus shots four times during that stretch, a good indicator that he can stay productive. He's a viable pickup in most leagues.

Pearson collected an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson provided the secondary assist on the game-winning goal by Nils Hoglander at 8:17 of the first period. The 28-year-old Pearson continues to provide fairly consistent offense from a middle-six role -- he has two goals, four helpers, 21 shots on net and 16 PIM through 11 games this year. He's not the flashiest scorer in Vancouver, but he does enough across categories to help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Pearson scored a goal on a team-high six shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson capitalized on the work of Nils Hoglander, who stole the puck along the boards and set up the Canucks' fourth and final tally. The Canucks outscored the Senators 16-3 over the now-completed three-game series, and Pearson contributed two goals and an assist in that span. He's up to five points, 21 shots on goal, 11 hits and 14 PIM through 10 contests overall.

Pearson scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Monday's 7-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson got his first goal of the season on a Nils Hoglander feed in the second period. In the third, Pearson earned the secondary assist on a Quinn Hughes tally. The two-point effort snapped a six-game drought for Pearson. A slow start to the year has seen the 28-year-old earn four points, 14 shots on net and 14 PIM. He'll continue to hold down a top-six role in the near term, but Tyler Motte or Jake Virtanen could challenge for Pearson's role eventually.
