Elias Pettersson (D) at 5v5 through 8 GP:
Goals: 5-2 (71.4%)
Shots: 52-43 (54.7%)
xGF: 5.46-4.04 (57.5%)
20 DZone Starts (1st among Canucks D)
#Canucks without him on ice:
Goals: 11-21 (34.4%)
Shots: 85-153 (35.7%)
xGF: 7.96-16.17 (33.0%)
It's only been 5 games, but it's important to note he's currently at career lows in the following:
18 & 20 MPH Bursts / 60
Top Speed
Shots/60
Shot Attempts/60
xGoals/60
I know people are eager to announce that Pettersson is back, but let's pump the brakes a bit and check back in mid-November when we have a better sample.
Very encouraging results so far, but we need to see that shot rate go up and his skating speed increase. #Canucks
#Canucks Elias Pettersson has 4 5v5 assists through 5 GP this season
It took him until January 23 (43 GP) to reach 4 5v5 assists last season

The version of Pettersson we've gotten in the past few years is a pale imitation of what he can do at his peak. Two goals in two games is a good start though.

Connor Davis excelled as the motor of the Cedar Rapids Roughriders this season. Pushed hard downhill and won his battles
Some shrewd scouting by the #Canucks to pull this talent in his final year of eligibility
Davis is set to be a major addition at NoDak next season

With the 3rd overall pick in the #2026NHLDraft, the Vancouver Canucks have taken Caleb Malhotra!
He will be coached by his father, Manny, and look to continue the meteoric rise he has had! #Canucks

#NHLDraft odds from @PlayNowSports:
• No. 2 fav (SJS): Chase Reid (-589) - 85.5% implied probability
• No. 3 fav (VAN): Caleb Malhotra (-1250) - 92.6%
• No. 4 fav (CHI): Ivar Stenberg (-477) - 82.7%
Based on this, #Canucks would pass on Stenberg for Malhotra at 3rd.

Caleb Malhotra (25-26) vs Brady Martin (24-25)
Different playstyles but some profile similarities
- late riser
- high entry attempts, high puck touch
- high slot pass attempts, could shoot more
- skating could improve
- Top 6, two-way C projection, 1C if it all goes right

Logan Stankoven is out here ripping apart the Stanley Cup Playoffs as a 5-foot-8 centre.
And we’re still going to watch teams convince themselves Viggo Björck is too small to draft early.
Aatu Räty Oct 21 - Nov 15
12:16 5v5 TOI
46 DZone Starts (4th among NHL Fs)
50.5 xGF%, 53.9 GF% (1st on #Canucks in both)
5 5v5 Points (3rd on Canucks)
After Kämpf was signed Nov 15, Räty averaged 10:30 at 5v5 and was scratched 14 times the rest of the season
