Elias Pettersson is likely out for the Vancouver Canucks' final three games of the season due to an upper-body injury. Head coach Rick Tocchet indicated that the team may opt to shut Pettersson down for the remainder of the season as he recovers. The 26-year-old Swede has struggled this year despite signing an eight-year, $92.8 million extension, totaling 15 goals and 30 assists. Pettersson hasn't played since the Canucks' March 22 loss to the New York Rangers and is still not progressing at the expected rate. With the Canucks eliminated from playoff contention, they aim to finish the season strong against teams like the Minnesota Wild in the coming games.
