After a mostly disappointing 2024-25 campaign with 35 points (11G / 24A) in his first 55 games, Pettersson was finally starting to produce with the elite ability he's shown in recent seasons, with 10 points (4G / 6A) in the nine games before his injury. Pius Suter has stepped up in Pettersson's absence with eight points (2G / 6A) during a four-game point streak.

Pettersson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve on Friday.

The move was made retroactive to December 23rd, so this doesn't actually suggest Pettersson is expected to be out any longer than the team previously announced when they said he was expected to miss at least seven days back on December 29th. The Canucks also called up goaltender Artus Silovs in a corresponding move as Thatcher Demko is unavailable for Friday's game due to a back injury.
