Impact There are no elite players in this deal, but Pettersson is a quality defensive defenseman who will bolster a weak spot for the Canucks. The 28-year-old should take on a second-pairing role if he stays on his natural side and will have the opportunity to join a playoff race after the Penguins started to lag behind in the Eastern Conference. He'll be a strong source of blocked shots, having racked up 83 blocks along with 18 points and 57 hits over 47 appearances.

Placed on IR Pettersson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Considering Pettersson was deemed week-to-week by head coach Mike Sullivan on Monday, his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise.

Owen Pickering should see an uptick in ice time with Pettersson out of the lineup while Nate Clurman was brought up from the minors to provide defensive depth.

Considered week-to-week Pettersson (lower body) was labeled week-to-week by head coach Mike Sullivan on Monday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Impact Pettersson has been one of the Penguins' most reliable shutdown defensemen this season, so his absence could be a significant blow to a team that has been performing better of late. Offensively, the 28-year-old Pettersson is somewhat limited, though he has delivered two goals and 11 helpers through 32 games this year. Youngster Owen Pickering figures to see an increase in ice time while Pettersson is on the shelf.
