Pettersson was not soft at the start of the year. He was throwing checks that hurt bigger guys. Must be injured or suffering from bad allergies

Game 2:
66.7% ES Corsi
61.5% ES Fenwick

Game 3:
Highest xG% on the Canucks

He hasn't been a world beater but his linemates have been ass, he's been okay.
His SOG totals since the start of February also suggest some sort of injury hampering him but his linemates aren't exactly legit top 6 scoring wingers either and his passing game has been decent.

Still something seems off with him.

Doesn't he have a shoulder issue?

Nothing that's been publicly disclosed.

I think everyone in Vancouver has known something isn't right with Petey for a while. Frankly, an injury would probably come as something of a relief as it would give an explanation for his play since about early March, when his troubles started. He started off the year hot as hell, and had a dominant run near Christmas, too - but he's been a shadow of himself since about the start of March.

If it's not injury related and it's something between his ears, hopefully he can get a handle on it in time to help the Canucks extend their season.

He's going to be under the gun this year with that new big contract if he doesn't start putting things together.

Last season, February 15th against Detroit it’s like a switch flipped, at least statistically.
So 2 weeks prior to when he signed that extension?
It's like people have never heard of players over achieving during a contract year. This happens all the time, dude got paid and became complacent.
