Elias Pettersson Has Two Assists In Canucks Win
2 years agoVancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson reached 51 assists for the season with a pair of helpers in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Ducks. He logged a short-handed assist on a J.T. Miller goal and also had one in an even-strength situation when Andrei Kuzmenko scored. Pettersson (8) now trails only Pavel Bure (9) and Russ Courtnall (9) for the most short-handed points in a season by a Vancouver player. It's been a disappointing campaign for the Canucks, but Pettersson has given his all to make it a successful one, putting up 81 points across 62 games. On Wednesday, he joined Edmonton's duo Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl as the only players to register 30-plus goals and 50-plus assists in 2022-23.
