Pettersson registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
Pettersson helped out on a Carson Soucy tally in the first period as well as Jake DeBrusk's empty-netter in the third. Entering 2024-25, Pettersson is expected to be a major contributor for the Canucks. His 2023-24 was a tale of two halves -- he produced 64 points in 49 appearances before the All-Star break, then stumbled to the finish line with just 31 points over 46 outings between the regular season and playoffs after the schedule resumed. Fantasy managers plopping down a second-round pick for the 25-year-old will hope that he is consistently closer to his first-half performance in 2024-25, especially after he flashed 100-point potential in 2022-23.
