While Lekkerimäki hasn't been in the NHL for the majority of the season, it is surprising that it took this long for Rick Tocchet to reunite the trio. Lekkerimäki, Pettersson, and DeBrusk were among the standout lines during training camp,

A Boston woman named Jan Taylor has been arrested before for harrassing DeBrusk and his girlfriend Mia Voyatzis in the past and now, by her own admission, was denied entry to Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena for the Canucks' game on January 2nd.

With the Bruins in desperate need of a shake-up, could Boston make a push for a rumored trade target like J.T. Miller or Elias Pettersson?

Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.

The Vancouver Canucks have placed star centre Elias Pettersson on the injured-reserve list. The club announced the move on Friday, saying it is retroactive to Dec. 23 and that goalie Arturs Silovs has been called up on an emergency basis.
