Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) has left the team's road trip and will miss the entire week of action. The Canucks have four more stops to go on the trip, beginning with Monday's clash against the New Jersey Devils. Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) has also returned to Vancouver, meaning Jake DeBrusk and Pius Suter are expected to step into top-line roles on Monday. At the same time, Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Teddy Blueger are likely to skate on the second line. Aatu Raty and Linus Karlsson will fill the gaps in the lineup.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Rick Tocchet on Sunday. Pettersson was injured in Saturday's loss to the New York Rangers. It looks like the Swedish star avoided a serious injury, but he may still miss some time. The Canucks will return to action on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger will likely see extra action if Pettersson can't play on Monday. Suter is the more attractive fantasy option between the two, as the Swiss forward has had a productive campaign with a career-high 20 goals and 34 points in 69 games.
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) failed to finish Saturday's contest against the New York Rangers. He seemed to have gotten hurt during a faceoff in the second period. Pettersson logged only 7:50 of action in a 5-3 loss and didn't do any scoring for the first time in seven games. The Canucks must shake up their first line if Pettersson has to miss additional time, and the team's center depth will be tested since Filip Chytil (upper body) is already sidelined. Vancouver will be back in action on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils.
Elias Pettersson Tallies Goal, Assist On Wednesday
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson tallied a goal and assist during their shootout victory over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday evening. In the opening frame, Pettersson would tally the secondary assist on Pius Suter's power-play goal. Later in the third, Pettersson would find the back of the net which tied the game and eventually forced overtime. The 26-year-old would also be successful on his shootout attempt. This outing extended his point streak to two games. Over his last four, Pettersson has tallied four points (three goals) while tallying nine shots with five blocks. However, before this recent stretch, Pettersson went 15 games without scoring a goal. He only tallied five helpers during this goal drought and held a -3 rating. He is worth monitoring in DFS as he appears to be turning the corner. He will look to stay hot on Saturday evening in a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks.
Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman Elias Pettersson (upper body) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Calgary Flames. The 21-year-old defenseman sustained this injury in the opening frame. He logged just over four minutes of ice time prior to exiting. Fantasy managers should monitor his status before their next contest on Saturday evening against the Chicago Blackhawks. Entering Wednesday's game, the third-round pick tallied one point (an assist) over his last four games while logging five hits and five blocked shots. Through his first 15 NHL contests, Pettersson has tallied just two points (both helpers) while adding 12 shots, 20 hits, and 11 blocks. If he were to miss time, the Canucks may have to promote a defenseman from their AHL affiliate.
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) is viewed as day-to-day leading up to Saturday's contests against the Vegas Golden Knights. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Saturday's game, but it seems unlikely he will be able to suit up. Pettersson sustained this injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off while representing Team Sweden. Leading up to the break, the 26-year-old tallied just one point (one helper) over his previous four contests. Through 49 contests, Pettersson has scored 11 goals and added 23 helpers. He has also logged 60 blocked shots. If Pettersson were to miss Saturday's contest, Filip Chytil and Pius Suter would continue to be deployed as the top centers.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of Friday's contest against Carolina. The 26-year-old appears ready to rejoin the lineup following a six-game absence. Pettersson should assume a top-six role, potentially bumping Pius Suter down to the third line. Vancouver hasn't quite received what it's used to from Pettersson this season, who has notched 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 34 games. However, he produced four multi-point efforts last month, proving he can still go off offensively.
Elias Pettersson A Game-Time Call Against Capitals

Pettersson scored twice in his last appearance but has endured a difficult time this season, posting 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 34 appearances. We should see him back among the top six if Pettersson is ready to return on Wednesday, with Pius Suter dropping down in the lineup. Suter has gone pointless in six games despite working on a scoring line.

The Swedish forward has joined the team for a five-game road trip but isn't yet ready to return against the Canadiens.

Pius Suter has worked in a top-six role during Pettersson's absence, but he finds himself with a five-game point drought ahead of Monday's action. The Swiss forward has tallied only six points (three goals, three assists) since the start of last month, meaning Suter has not been a reliable performer for fantasy managers.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) will not be available for the team's upcoming two-game road trip. Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has announced Pettersson is "a week away" from returning. This might mean he also won't be available for Friday's home game against Nashville. An undisclosed injury sidelined Pettersson for Saturday's game against Seattle. Pius Suter filled a top-six role versus the Kraken with Pettersson absent. He will have extra fantasy value until Pettersson returns, although Suter has struggled to produce offense lately. He has gone scoreless seven times in his past nine outings, with zero goals to show for his efforts.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (illness) returned to the ice on Wednesday morning and will play in Game 1 against Edmonton. The Swedish star missed Tuesday's practice with an illness, which initially left his status iffy for the series opener.

He will definitely need to up his productivity if the Canucks want to compete for a spot in the Western Conference Finals.

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.
