ST. PAUL, Minn. – On a road trip that ended with a three-game losing streak, the Vancouver Canucks’ biggest loss was star centre Elias Pettersson.
The 21-year-old National Hockey League rookie-of-the-year was a game-time scratch Thursday for the Canucks, who immediately surrendered three early goals to the Minnesota Wild before losing 4-2.
The good news is Pettersson, who took the pre-game warmup after fully practising on Wednesday, should be able to play Saturday against the Calgary Flames when the Canucks will be relieved to open a six-game homestand after playing 10 of their last 14 games on the road.
