One of each Tuesday Pettersson scored a power-play goal on five shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
Impact Pettersson helped the Canucks dig out of a two-goal hole, but they still fell in the extra session. This was his third multi-point effort over five games in December, and it snapped a five-game goal drought. The center is up to eight tallies, 26 points (eight on the power play), 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 32 hits through 27 appearances in a top-six role.

Impact Pettersson fed Pius Suter for an empty-net tally in the third period. The helper extended Pettersson's point streak to five games (one goal, eight assists). The center has multiple points in seven of his last 13 outings, turning things around after a lackluster October. Pettersson is up to seven goals, 17 helpers, 48 shots on net, 32 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 25 contests this season.

Supplies two more assists Pettersson notched two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Impact Pettersson has earned five multi-point efforts over his last nine games, totaling three goals and 11 helpers in that span. One of his assists Tuesday came on the power play. The 26-year-old center is up to a total of seven goals, 16 helpers, seven power-play points, 47 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating over 24 outings this season. He can do better than just achieving a point-per-game pace, but he's made significant progress from how he started the campaign.

Trio of apples Sunday Pettersson facilitated three goals in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Detroit.
Impact Pettersson helped Vancouver tie the game on two occasions before setting up Jake DeBrusk's game-winner in the extra frame. The 26-year-old Pettersson is red hot -- the left-shot center has 12 points (three goals) over his last eight games, and he's only been held off the scoresheet twice in his last 11 contests. The Swedish forward has developed chemistry with DeBrusk, and they were joined by Brock Boeser on the top line Sunday, which forms a lethal trio, at least on paper. Pettersson is tied for second in scoring on the Canucks with seven goals and 14 assists through 23 games.

One of each in defeat Pettersson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in 17:17 of ice time Wednesday in a 5-4 loss to the Penguins.
Impact Pettersson had a four-game point streak snapped against Boston on Tuesday, but his goal and assist in the final frame Wednesday marked his third multi-point effort in his last four games. The Swedish center has excelled in November by producing 13 points while getting on the scoresheet in eight of 12 contests. After a sluggish start to the 2024-25 campaign in October, the 26-year-old appears to have turned a corner on offense, and he'll be heavily relied upon while the Canucks are without J.T. Miller (personal). Pettersson ranks third on Vancouver in scoring with seven goals and 10 assists through 21 games.

Four-game, six-point scoring streak Pettersson had two helpers Saturday in a 4-3 victory over the Senators.
Impact Ten of Pettersson's 15 points have come in his last seven games; it includes four goals and six assists. And he's on a four-game, six-point scoring streak (two goals, four assists). Pettersson still has a long way to go, but it looks like he's put his early-season malaise behind him. He needs to pick up his shot pace, though. With 40 shots in 19 games, Pettersson is on pace for just 170 shots, a significant drop from 207 last year and 257 the one before that. He's converting at about the same rate as he always has, which will mean he might fail to hit 30 goals for the first time in four seasons.

Impact Pettersson helped out on first-period tallies by Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. This was Pettersson's third multi-point effort in his last six games, a span in which he's collected four goals and four assists. The center is up to six goals, seven helpers, 39 shots on net, 27 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He'll be the centerpiece of the Canucks' offense for as long as J.T. Miller (personal) is away from the team.

Another power-play tally Sunday Pettersson scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Impact Pettersson scored on the power play for the second game in a row. He gave the Canucks a short-lived 2-1 lead in the middle of the second period with this goal. Pettersson is rolling now with five goals and two assists over his last seven contests, a level of offense his fantasy managers are more familiar with from the talented center. Overall, he has six goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 27 hits and 23 blocked shots through 17 appearances.

Strikes on power play in win Pettersson scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Pettersson took a shot that deflected in off Connor Murphy's skate to tie the game at 1-1 in the second period. After getting few bounces to go his way in October, Pettersson's luck looks to be turning around, in part thanks to an increased shot volume in November. The veteran center has five tallies, 10 points (four on the power play), 36 shots on net, 26 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 16 appearances in his usual top-six role with time in all situations.

Earns two points on birthday Pettersson scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, blocked four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Impact Pettersson turned 26 on Tuesday, and he celebrated with his second multi-point effort in a row. His goal was a power-play tally to tie the game at 1-1 in the second period, and he also set up Erik Brannstrom's goal in the third. Pettersson is up to four goals, five assists, three power-play points, 27 shots on net, 22 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 outings. He's still working his way back to an elite level of scoring, but he's starting to reward fantasy managers who were patient with him.

Impact Pettersson had one of his better games of the year, but the rest of the Canucks didn't follow suit. The 25-year-old has three points over his last three contests, which perhaps signals him getting back to a high level of offense. He's struggled with three goals, four assists, 24 shots on net, 21 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances this season.
