MARCUS PETTERSSON NEWS

Contributes helper in loss Pettersson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Pettersson had not earned a point in his first eight games with the Canucks. The 28-year-old blueliner changed that by helping out on a goal by fellow trade acquisition Filip Chytil in the first period. Pettersson's offered decent offense from the blue line in past seasons, but his primary role is to shutdown the opponent's top forwards. He's at 19 points, 51 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-1 rating through 56 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.

Solid defensive game Pettersson was a plus-1 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Kings.

Impact The return of Quinn Hughes (oblique) pushed Pettersson down the depth chart to the second pair with Tyler Myers for Wednesday's contest. It's the first time that the full defensive corps has been healthy for the Canucks since the former Penguin arrived via trade on Feb. 1. Pettersson has been solid defensively, but maybe the team achieving full health is what is needed for the 28-year-old to unlock the offensive part of his game that has been missing since joining Vancouver. He remains pointless in seven games with his new team.

Sticking around in Vancouver Pettersson signed a six-year, $33 million contract extension with the Canucks on Wednesday.

Impact Pettersson was acquired via trade with the Penguins last Friday, and it took the Canucks little time to get him a new deal. This new contract will take him through his age-34 campaign. Pettersson hasn't recorded a point for his new team, but he's at 18 points, 46 shots on net, 60 hits, 86 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 49 appearances this season. He should be a top-four fixture in Vancouver for years to come.

Impact There are no elite players in this deal, but Pettersson is a quality defensive defenseman who will bolster a weak spot for the Canucks. The 28-year-old should take on a second-pairing role if he stays on his natural side and will have the opportunity to join a playoff race after the Penguins started to lag behind in the Eastern Conference. He'll be a strong source of blocked shots, having racked up 83 blocks along with 18 points and 57 hits over 47 appearances.

Tallies in Wednesday's win Pettersson scored a goal, added two hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Pettersson's tally briefly tied the game at 1-1 in the second period. The 28-year-old blueliner has had modest success in January with a goal and four assists over 14 contests while seeing time in the top four. He's at three goals, 18 points, 43 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 57 hits and a minus-2 rating over 47 outings this season. Pettersson produces enough offense to be a depth option for fantasy.

Puts up assist Pettersson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Pettersson has earned four helpers over his last seven games. The 28-year-old typically doesn't generate a lot of offense, instead offering decent all-around production as a shutdown blueliner. For the season, he's at 17 points, 40 shots on net, 50 hits, 76 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-1 rating across 43 appearances.
