Elias Pettersson has kept Vancouver Canucks fans watching games this season. The Swedish youngster came into the Canucks’ lineup and immediately made an impact right from opening night when he scored his first career goal.
He was producing at an unbelievable pace for a rookie and was being referred to as one of the best rookies since Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin — pretty high praise for someone who was supposed to be too small to play in the NHL.
I wrote an article about a month ago about whether or not Pettersson would be able to break the Canucks’ rookie scoring record which is currently held by Pavel Bure at 34 goals.
