For all of the Vancouver Canucks fans that feared the proverbial “sophomore slump” for Elias Pettersson this season, he didn’t have one. In fact, the 21-year-old Swede picked up right where he left off and continued to use his second pro season to build on his already promising career.
2019-20 was almost an identical season statistically for Petey. He played in three fewer games in the shortened season but mirrored his point total from a year ago. He scored 28 goals and had 66 points before the NHL, unfortunately, paused and later ended the regular season.
