Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson has addressed his slow start in the 2025-26 NHL season as he reaches the one-month mark.
All summer, Pettersson promised to improve this season and declared himself "out for revenge" following a disappointing 45-point campaign last year—his second-lowest total in his NHL career. So far this season, the Sundsvall, Sweden native has scored ten points.
Despite his point total, Pettersson's overall play has not met expectations. He is shooting the puck much less frequently than earlier in his career, which raises some concerns.
"I'm focused on getting better and doing whatever it takes for my team to get the two points night in, night out."
Pettersson remains determined to improve and contribute consistently to the Canucks' success.
Author's summary: Elias Pettersson acknowledges his slow start and reduced shooting this season but stays committed to improving and helping the Canucks win every game.
