Elias Pettersson moved to right wing and responded with two goals and two assists for the fourth four\u002Dpoint night of his career, while Thatcher Demko made 33 saves
“It could have been Pettersson’s best game, he was all around the puck and made real intelligent plays. He knows where to go and playing on the right, he sees the ice so well that when he turns he’s got everything on his forehand. If you look at history, guys like Ovechkin who have played their off wing have been very good and Pettersson has that same kind of vision.”
“Our sense of urgency can’t have a letdown and we come down to earth, we’ve got to play the same way,” he warned. The four unanswered goals helped overcome Eichel’s early marker. He was robbed by Demko on his first attempt and there was a second save before the puck popped out to Eichel for his fifth goal in six games.
“I’m really happy with the way we played,” said Pettersson. “Today, was a really good game from us for 60 minutes and that’s what we need to bring every game. It’s easy to say I was tonight but my teammates were setting me up. We had to play within our standards and we’re aware of the situation that we’re in and basically have to win every game.
Getting over the virus in January took longer than expected and just three points in eight games after a U.S. quarantine weighed on Horvat. Getting over vomiting last week was no picnic. But he has six goals in his last eight games and 14 in his last 20 and the boo-birds have gone silent.
