Elias Pettersson Shines in Loss, Gets Little Support
6 years agoVancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson scored a power-play goal in Friday night's shootout loss to the Devils. Pettersson was also the lone goal scorer for Vancouver during the shootout that lasted seven rounds before Damon Severson clinched the victory for New Jersey. After a four-game pointless streak, Pettersson has picked up points in three of his last four games and has pushed his magnificent rookie season total to 59 points in 60 games. Vancouver currently has the fifth worst goals scored per game rate in the league (2.68 goals per game), but Pettersson has remained productive even during his now snapped scoring drought where he failed to score a goal in 11 games.
