Elias Pettersson Leads Canucks Over Sharks With Two-Goal Night
5 years agoVancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson scored two goals in Saturday's win, giving him six goals and 20 points in only 14 games. Pettersson's second tally of the night came on the power play, giving him his second power-play goal of the season. On a per-game basis, Pettersson is scoring at a very similar rate to his breakout rookie season both at even-strength (0.43 goals per game) and on the power play (0.14 goals per game), but he is collecting assists at a higher rate this season. Throw in a 20 percent shooting percentage, compared to last season's 19.4 percent, and there is every reason to believe that Pettersson will not be slowing down anytime soon.
