Pettersson left Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Pettersson’s leg bent awkwardly in a collision with Canadiens’ rookie Jesperi Kotkaniemi. The Canucks did not have much of an update postgame but said that they expect him to remain with them during their road-trip. Expect a more detailed update after Pettersson is re-evaluated.

Pettersson (concussion) returned to the ice for Tuesday’s practice; will travel on the Canucks two-game road-trip.

Pettersson has missed the last four games with a concussion that he suffered in Florida 10 days ago. Canucks head coach Travis Green said that Pettersson could play on the trip, which starts Wednesday in Vegas and wraps up the following night in Arizona. Pettersson had a sensational start to the season, scoring five goals with three assists (eight points) in his first five games.

Pettersson is expected to miss at least 7-10 days with a concussion.

Pettersson was forced to leave Saturday’s game in Florida after a controversial collision with Panthers’ defenseman Mike Matheson. Pettersson will remain with the team on their current road-trip—which goes through Pittsburgh on Tuesday and Winnipeg on Thursday—but will not see any game action for at least one week. Pettersson could be out longer, depending on how long he experiences concussion symptoms.
