Vancouver Canucks Forward Elias Pettersson Open Ups with More Excuses for His Lack of Goal Scoring

Vancouver Canucks Forward Elias Pettersson Addresses Slow Start to 2025-26 Season

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson has shared his thoughts on his slow beginning this season and his feelings one month into the campaign.

Season Expectations and Current Performance

All summer, Pettersson expressed determination to improve, stating he was "out for revenge" following a disappointing 45-point total last year, which was his second-lowest in the NHL so far.

Although the Swedish forward from Sundsvall has scored ten points this season, his overall play has been underwhelming, and his shot frequency has declined compared to earlier years, raising some concern.

Focus Moving Forward

Despite the slow start, Pettersson remains focused on improving and contributing to his team’s success.

"I am focused on getting better and doing whatever it takes for my team to get the two points night in, night out."
