Tallies in Tuesday's loss Pettersson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Pettersson ended his five-game goal drought, which covered all the time since he returned from an undisclosed injury. He had just one assist in that span. The 26-year-old is up to 11 goals, 30 points, 76 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-6 rating through 40 appearances. He's still seeing top-six minutes, but his 0.75 points-per-game pace is the worst of his career.

First point since return Pettersson notched an assist and five blocked shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Pettersson was able to get on the scoresheet early in his second game back from an undisclosed injury. He helped out on a Brock Boeser tally just 31 seconds into this game. Pettersson saw just 16:08 of ice time, but the Canucks rested a handful of key forwards while in control of this contests, which was the second half of a back-to-back. The 26-year-old center is at 10 goals, 19 helpers, 67 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-3 rating through 36 outings. Getting Pettersson in peak form will be key for the Canucks to keep their place in what could be a tight wild-card race over the second half of the campaign.

Activated off IR Pettersson (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with Carolina.

Impact Pettersson's return to action will almost certainly see him retake a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to his six-game absence, the 26-year-old center was struggling offensively with just two points in his last seven appearances. At this point, Pettersson should probably be expected to miss the 80-point mark for the first time since 2021-22 but could still push for 60 if he gets out of his funk soon.

Still not ready Pettersson (undisclosed) remains on injured reserve and is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Capitals, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pettersson was labeled a game-time decision, but it looks like he'll miss his sixth straight contest. The 26-year-old forward is likely getting close to a return, so it's possible he'll be ready in time for either Friday's game against the Hurricanes or Saturday's contest in Toronto.

Game-time call Wednesday Pettersson will be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Washington, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Impact Pettersson has missed the Canucks' past five games. He has 10 goals and 28 points in 34 outings in 2024-25. If Pettersson plays Wednesday, then he'll likely serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit. Pius Suter might shift out of the top six if Pettersson plays.

Unlikely to play Monday Pettersson (undisclosed) is doubtful for Monday's road game against the Canadiens, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Impact While head coach Rick Tocchet said that he'd check on Pettersson after the Canucks' morning skate Monday, Tocchet also said that he doesn't think the 26-year-old will be able to return to action against Montreal. Assuming Pettersson is sidelined, Jonathan Lekkerimaki could enter the lineup after being recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Impact Pettersson has been sidelined since sustaining an injury against the Sharks on Dec. 23, but he's trending in the right direction. Vancouver's road trip begins in Montreal on Monday, and while it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for that matchup, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action before the Canucks return home to face the Kings on Jan. 16.

The Swedish center's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's divisional matchup against the Kraken.
