Thank you, Elias Pettersson.
Seriously, where would this franchise be without this game-changing, dynamic, incredible 200-foot player who once again, is only 21 years old.
I don’t want to say this was Pettersson’s coming out party — I think that was when he scored 10 goals in his first 10 games — but his standout playoff performance cemented the fact that he’s one of the best players in the game today.
There are so many stats you can point to that tells you just how dominant Pettersson was in these playoffs.
Gretzky comparisons are a nice place to start.
