Elias Pettersson Activated Off IR, Returns to Canucks Lineup Saturday

Elias Pettersson (upper body) will be activated off injured reserve and play against San Jose on Saturday. The Vancouver Canucks forward missed eight straight games due to the injury. Now that he's back, he'll presumably play on the top line and first power-play unit. Pettersson has recorded eight goals and 22 points in 28 appearances this 2025-26 season.
