It’s not the start to the season that Elias Pettersson envisioned.
Through four games, Pettersson has just one assist. Now, he’s been fined by the NHL for slashing Sean Monahan.
Pettersson was called for a high-stick on the play at the end of the second period.

After the game, the young Swede admitted to being frustrated with the penalties he took against the Flames.
