Pettersson has missed four straight games and did not practice on Tuesday but remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. After a mostly disappointing 2024-25 campaign with 35 points (11G / 24A) in his first 55 games, Pettersson was finally starting to produce with the elite ability he's shown in recent seasons, with 10 points (4G / 6A) in the nine games before his injury. Pius Suter has stepped up in Pettersson's absence with eight points (2G / 6A) during a four-game point streak.

Pettersson was limited to only 7:50 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers with an undisclosed injury, and will not play on Monday against the New Jersey Devils.

Pettersson has not played since December 23rd but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup after skating at practice on Monday. The 26-year-old Pettersson has had an off season after back-to-back point-per-game campaigns, scoring 28 points (10G / 18A) through 34 contests this season. He has been held off the scoresheet in six of his last seven outings.

The move was made retroactive to December 23rd, so this doesn't actually suggest Pettersson is expected to be out any longer than the team previously announced when they said he was expected to miss at least seven days back on December 29th. The Canucks also called up goaltender Artus Silovs in a corresponding move as Thatcher Demko is unavailable for Friday's game due to a back injury.





Pettersson missed Tuesday's team practice due to illness but was a full participant in Wednesday's optional team skate and is expected to suit up for Game 1 in Edmonton. The 25-year-old superstar has struggled so far through six games in the playoffs, with just three assists, eight SOG and a -2 plus/minus.
