Elias Pettersson News

Pettersson has missed the last two games but will be a game-time decision on Thursday. He practiced on Wednesday and took part in Thursday's morning skate, both good signs that he'll be available vs. the Red Wings.

Pettersson remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said Pettersson's injury is not a long-term issue and they hope he'll be able to play on Thursday.

The Canucks don't play until Saturday against the Senators but that game could end up getting postponed given the breakout in Ottawa's dressing room. If it doesn't, Pettersson will likely only miss one game.

The Canucks have been quiet on Pettersson's injury but head coach Travis Green said he expects the star centre to miss at least another week with an upper-body injury. Expect another update on his status early next week.

Pettersson will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury, leaving JT Miller to play centre on the second line. Pettersson remains day-to-day.

Pettersson has missed the last five games with a knee issue but will return to the lineup vs. the Red Wings on Sunday afternoon. Pettersson has had a sensational rookie season, scoring 22 goals with 20 assists (42 points) in 38 games.

Pettersson took part in the Canucks morning skate and is close to returning to the lineup but will miss his fourth straight game tonight. Pettersson said he’s “feeling better every day” and hopes to play on Friday.

Pettersson left Thursday’s game in Montreal with a lower-body and will not play Saturday in Toronto. With Pettersson out, Brandon Sutter will skate with Nikolay Goldobin and Brock Boeser. Pettersson is day-to-day.

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 missed the last six games with a concussion but will return tonight vs. the Penguins. Pettersson, who had eight points (5G / 3A) in his first five NHL games, will skate on a line with Brock Boeser and Nikolay Goldobin.
