Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson wasn't on the ice for Tuesday's practice session due to an illness. The Canucks are preparing to continue their playoff journey with Game 1 against Edmonton on Wednesday, and Pettersson's absence on Tuesday leaves a question mark hanging over him ahead of the series opener. After notching 89 points (34 goals, 55 assists) in 82 regular-season games, the Swedish star has been quiet in the playoffs. He had zero goals and three assists in a six-game series against Nashville in Round 1.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime defeat against the Coyotes to stretch his point streak to four games. He was on target late in regulation, saving the Canucks a point in an entertaining game. Pettersson has enjoyed a prolific campaign with 88 points (34 goals, 54 assists) in 79 games, but he's had only one point streak longer than four games. There are three contests left for him to get past the 90-point mark for a second consecutive year.
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson is not yet ready to put pen to paper on a contract extension and prefers to wait until after the season to get a new deal done. "Wait until the end of the year," the Swede told the media on Friday. The comments came while being interviewed about the three-year extension president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford agreed to earlier in the day. Pettersson is in the final season of a three-year, $22.05 million contract he signed in October of 2021 and is enjoying a big year for the surging Canucks. The 25-year-old has tallied 24 goals and 59 points across 45 games this season, tying countryman William Nylander for seventh in the NHL. He is one of three Canucks in the top 13 in league scoring, joining J.T. Miller (T-4th) and defenseman Quinn Hughes (13th).
