Elias Pettersson played a pivotal role in the Vancouver Canucks' game, showcasing strong performance and resilience. After a soft back check that led to an opening goal by the opposition, Pettersson made amends by setting up Nils Höglander for a goal. Pettersson's efforts included a strong shift where he beat McLeod, attempted a wraparound, and fed Höglander in the slot. Later, Pettersson took a drop pass from Höglander, circled the net at speed, and found Höglander again, who scored on his own rebound to level the score at 1-1. Höglander's contributions were also significant, leading a zone exit and maneuvering through the neutral zone to set up his own scoring opportunity. Stuart Skinner stopped the first shot, but Höglander scored on the second.
Pettersson from below the goal line to Hoglander. Big for Vancouver to get scoring from this line https://t.co/Q5g9XeX3Va
Great response. Pettersson makes up for soft back check on opening goal. Takes drop pass from Hoglander, goes around net at speed to find Hgolander, who buries his own rebound. 1-1 #Canucks
Great work from Nils Höglander, who led the zone exit and slashed through the neutral zone with the puck, and Elias Pettersson who found him again in the slot. Stuart Skinner stopped the first shot, but Höglander levelled the score on the second. 1-1
Pettersson makes amends after getting beat by Holloway to set up Hoglander for a goal
Pettersson's best shift of series. Strong on wall, beats McLeod, tries wraparound and then gets to puck to feed Hoglander in slot. #Canucks
