• Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Sparks comeback with goal

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Pettersson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins. Pettersson's goal was the first of three by the Canucks in a span of 1:05, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead. The center has a goal and two assists during his three-game point streak, though he still isn't looking particularly explosive on offense. He's at four points, 11 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through seven outings this season.

• Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Wobbly start continues

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Pettersson picked up an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over Philadephia. Pettersson is off to a disappointing start, contributing two assists and no goals through five appearances. It's convenient to hang his slow start on the hangover from his lucrative contract extension, but Pettersson hasn't scored an even-strength goal in 30 games, dating back to the 2024 playoffs. He has logged 450:29 of even-strength time on ice in that span, recording just 32 shots. The Canucks, and fantasy managers, need more from him.

• Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Offers power-play helper

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Pettersson notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames. Pettersson helped out on the first of Brock Boeser's two goals in the game. Last season, Pettersson earned 31 of his 89 points on the power play, so it figures to remain a large part of his production in 2024-25. The Swedish center added 125 hits, 68 blocked shots and 207 shots on net in 2023-24, with the added physical play helping to offset some of his step back on offense from a 102-point campaign in 2022-23.

• Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Deals pair of helpers

  10/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Notches assist in loss

  05/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pettersson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6. Pettersson has earned two helpers in the last two games but still hasn't been living up to expectations offensively during the playoffs. He's at six points, 20 shots, 23 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances. However, he's looked slightly better since moving to the wing alongside Elias Lindholm.
