CALGARY — After a difficult start to the season, Elias Pettersson's game is trending up just in time for the Vancouver Canucks' playoff push.
“It's huge for a group, just to battle like everybody did," Pettersson said."The effort and to be able to come back, it's good. Hopefully we can build on this."After three consecutive 30-goal seasons, including a career-best 39 in 2022-23, the 26-year-old Swede has lit the red light just 14 times this season.Head coach Rick Tocchet says he's seeing his No. 1 centre take some positive strides.
It was back-and-forth in the pivotal game between the two Pacific Division rivals. The Canucks took 1-0 and 2-1 leads, only to need a third period comeback to tie it 3-3. After neither team scored in an overtime dominated possession-wise by the Canucks, Conor Garland ripped a winning shot inside the post in Round 4 of the shootout.
