Some pretty good company for the Canucks wonder prospect passing Pavel Bure and Ivan Hlinka by picking up a secondary assist on Markus Granlund&#8217;s goal in the second period tonight.

Not his prettiest point of the season but it doesn&#8217;t really matter. Pettersson now has twenty-seven goals and thirty-four assists in sixty-two games.
Pettersson leads the NHL in rookie scoring by 21 points on Toronto Maple Leafs forward Andreas Johnsson.
It&#8217;s been an interesting couple of nights for the 2017 1st round pick as Elias Pettersson also maxed out his schedule A bonuses last night against Dallas when he picked up his 60th point of the season

It was his fourth bonus of $212,500 and he had earned the other three from his goals, points-per-game rate and being named to the NHL All-Star.
There has been much to dissect about this season but there is little doubt that Pettersson has been a bright spot for the team and presents a positive outlook. Battling injuries, playing centre in the NHL, and grinding away through a long season has all been roadblocks that Pettersson has overcome to record this record.
