The Vancouver Canucks have a special player in Elias Pettersson, and fans have known that for quite some time now. Pettersson has already provided Vancouver with a plethora of moments that will never be forgotten. Here are five of the best moments.
5. The shootout goal on MacKenzie Blackwood
22-year-old New Jersey Devils’ goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood has been a bit of an enigma for the Canucks. It seems as though that whenever the Canucks face Blackwood, they are almost hopeless in their efforts to put the puck past him.
In a game that required a shootout because the Canucks once again struggled to beat Blackwood, Pettersson pulled a move out of his back pocket that the majority of players in the NHL wouldn’t dare to attempt outside of practice.
