The Vancouver Canucks faced the Minnesota Wild and were capable of get the 4-2 win, they usually did it with no key forward. Elias Pettersson missed the sport due to an upper-body injury, and he’s expected to get an MRI, based on head coach Adam Foote.
“Adam Foote says the Canucks discovered this morning that EP40 had an upper body issue. They thought he would have the option to play, but he tested it in warmup and couldn’t go. He’ll have an MRI tomorrow,” Brendan Batchelor wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
That was going to be Pettersson’s five hundredth game within the NHL, and all of them have been with the Canucks. He has 193 goals and 286 assists in his profession, and this season, he has eight goals and 14 assists. With Pettersson out, the Canucks were without their top-three centers, which left David Kampf to assume the leading role on the position against the Wild.
Before the win against the Wild, the Canucks had lost their last 4 games, they usually were at the underside of the NHL standings. With Pettersson not out, the hope is that he doesn’t must miss prolonged time because that may not bode well for the team.
If he does must miss time, it is going to be next man up for the Canucks, and players comparable to Aatu Raty and Tom Willander, who were big of their latest game, might want to step up. There remains to be a while for the Canucks to sort things, and they’re going to must take things game by game.
In the event that they proceed to falter throughout the season, it will not be a surprise in the event that they ended up trading some players, and Pettersson has been in rumors.
