Elias Pettersson delivered an outstanding performance for the Vancouver Canucks, marking a four-point night (2-2—4) that showcased his skills and contributed significantly to the team's success. The Canucks' top line, with Pettersson at the helm, managed to score on both shots they took during 5-on-5 play in one of the periods. Pettersson's prowess was evident as he executed dashes, dekes, dishes, and displayed a strong desire and defensive play, indicating his readiness for a substantial contract. His impressive play included a power play swagger, setting up a heavy one-timer, and later scoring his 20th goal of the season after a play that began with a steal by Hronek. The game went into an exhilarating overtime where Pettersson secured the win for the Canucks. His contribution to each of the Canucks' goals that night underscored his value, and he made NHL history by becoming the sixth player in Canucks history with 10 career four-point games, joining the ranks of Pavel Bure (11), Trevor Linden (11), Alexander Mogilny (10), Petri Skriko (10), and Henrik Sedin (10). Additionally, he became the first player in NHL history to score the game-winning goal in four consecutive road games.

Fun, back and forth overtime and Elias Pettersson wins it for the #Canucks.
I got it, you take it. Pettersson proves the benefactor of sequence that starts with a Hronek steal, then Pettersson passing the puck across the crease to Miller and then taking return feed for his 20th of season. 3-0. #Canucks
Pettersson playing with a PP1 swagger. Does his dekes to net and tees up heavy one-timer. Hronek then fells Czikas with heavy point slapper at even strength and gets to net to deposit loose puck and open scoring. #Canucks
Pettersson at his very best. Dashes, dekes, dishes, desire, defending. Checking all the boxes for a big payday. #Canucks https://t.co/P8ISzYSgqs
