Pettersson has not played since March 18th due to a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Columbus. The 26-year-old had a goal, 23 assists, 95 SOG, 58 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 67 games prior to his injury.
Petterson left the Penguins' previous game vs. the New York Rangers after just 12:41 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the long-term injured reserve retroactive to March 18th. It is a big loss for the Penguins, as the 26-year-old has a goal, 23 assists, 95 SOG, 58 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 67 games played prior to the injury.
Pettersson is being evaluated for a lower-body injury that he suffered in Saturday's loss in New York. The Penguins are already down Jeff Petry, Jan Rutta, and Dmitry Kulikov on the blueline, so they will likely need to recall another defenseman if Pettersson is unavailable.
Pettersson has missed the Penguins' previous two games due to an illness but is expected to draw back into the lineup Monday as they take on Anaheim. The 26-year-old stay-at-home defenseman had been solid prior to his injury, with 11 assists, 52 SOG, 21 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 40 games this season.
Pettersson has 11 assists, 47 SOG, 19 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 37 games this season but will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Vegas as he deals with an undisclosed injury. The Penguins should provide an update as the teams heads on the ice for warmups.
Pettersson was activated from the COVID-19 protocol list for Thursday's game but he is ineligible to travel to Canada due to the Canadian government’s mandatory 14-day quarantine requirement following his previous positive tests for COVID-19.
Pettersson has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Pettersson skated on the third pairing with Chad Ruhwedel (also a game-time decision) in the session.
Pettersson left Tuesday's game vs. Washington with an upper-body injury that he suffered on a hit from T.J. Oshie. With Pettersson out week-to-week, Cody Ceci will likely draw back into the lineup for Pittsburgh on Friday. If he misses two weeks, he'll miss roughly seven or eight games.
Pettersson’s extension kicks in at the start of the 2020-21 campaign and carries him through 2024-25. The 23-year-old blueliner has had a strong year in Pittsburgh, recording 15 points (1G / 14A) in 50 games and taking on a huge role while the Penguins have dealt with long-term injuries to Brian Dumoulin and Justin Schultz—Pettersson has played an average of 19:22 TOI/gm on the season but is over 20 minutes per game since the middle of December. He has showcased the ability to be a reliable top-4 defenseman and will now be paid as such.
Pettersson was traded to the Penguins early in 2019 and he finished with 19 points (2G / 17A) in 57 games with his new team. He won’t play enough meaningful minutes to be fantasy relevant in 2020. However, Kris Letang and Justin Schultz both have durability concerns, so there is a scenario where Pettersson sees PP1 time, it just wouldn’t be a great scenario for the Penguins.
Pettersson was a second round pick (No.38 overall) in 2014. The 6-foot-3, 177 lbs. defenseman has a projectable frame and a great first past but has struggled at times this season. Pettersson was able to carry a +1.9 CF% rel this season and should get a chance for regular playing time in Pittsburgh. Pettersson has 10 points (1G / 9A) in 49 career NHL games.
