Highlights from Elias Pettersson's Rookie NHL Season with the Vancouver Canucks

Relive Elias Pettersson's dazzling rookie season with the #Canucks. Scoring 28 goals and picking up 66 points in 71 games, he led the team and set a new franchise rookie record.
Here are some of Petey's accomplishments:
1. Set a Canucks franchise record for most points in a rookie season, finishing with a team-high 28 goals, 38 assists and 66 points.
2. Pettersson not only lead the Canucks, but all rookies in goals (28), assists (38), points (66), power-play goals (10), power-play points (22), game-winning goals (7), and points per game (0.93).
3. He scored his first NHL goal on his first NHL shot in his first NHL game.
4. He's only the fifth player in the last 100 years to score 10 goals in his first 10 games.
5. Petey finished seventh for most points by a Swedish-born player in their rookie season all-time.
6. Pettersson became just the fourth active player to accumulate 40 or more career points within his first 40 NHL games.
7. Petey had the second most productive season by a Swedish-born player 20-years-old or younger. Nicklas Backstrom had 69 points in 2007-08.
8. He had the sixth most productive season by a European-born rookie (aged 20 or younger) in NHL history. The top five: Alex Ovechkin (106 in 2005-06), Evgeni Malkin (85 in 2006-2007), Alexei Yashin (79 in 1993-94), Jari Kurri (75 in 1980-81) and Nicklas Backstrom (69 in 2007-08).
9. Petey recorded 50 points in his first 45 games, putting him sixth on the list of players to have accomplished that in the last 30 years.
10. Petey represented Team Pacific in the 2019 NHL All-Star Game, becoming the youngest Canucks player and just the third Vancouver rookie named to the honour.

[@carpetclimber4027]

Yeah, that's a big tell this is a guy you want on your team, especially in a leading role. He doesn't even have to be a leader, he only needs to be and perform like himself and be himself. The good parts will rub off on the teammates. Work hard, have a dream, be humble and work hard.

It's crazy how many great players Sweden produces per capita. If you compare the size of Sweden to our nation and other Hockey nations it's tiny, yet so many great players are in NHL and they are a serious foe in WC every time as well.

And because vancouver drafted him, they secured that he'll never win the stanley cup, except if he gets traded to a good team like boston, st.louis, caps for an example. I feel bad for the sedins because they had to play in vancouver.

Everything about his technique is just crazy good. Super clean wrist shots, fluent slapshots and excellent puck handling coupled with extremely high hockey IQ makes him just outrageously good. Can’t wait to see what he does next year!

[@Crosby4ever]

Love the throwing the stick in the air trick and catching the puck in practice that was sick Hope the Canucks get a good pick at #10 I think next year the Canucks will be back in the playoffs

This draft is deep as hell, even if we dropped to 12th there are still plenty of studs available.

[@kiyomi1734]

My dads friend is Johnny Canuck so I’ve been allowed to go to all the private areas we’re allowed to go in which is cool I’ve always loved the Vancouver Canucks because I’m a vancouverite I moved to England and whenever I’m back in Canada I always go see a game it’s the first thing I do

[@CoconutsGlow]

Given our terrible drafting record, Vancouver is so lucky to have this guy on our team. Only one year in and he has a Calder, an unreal highlight package of plays and goals you usually only see from vets, some hotheaded chops for the media, and some determination that sparks emotion that fans want to see! The Hockey Gods haven't forgotten you, Canucks!

[@aleex2765]

And drafting someone that has been a huge Vancouver fan since he was 5 does make it even a little bit better

[@CoconutsGlow]

@@aleex2765 I take it that you are tlking about the picture of him in a Vancouver shirt. He actually stated that he didn't know where that shirt or picture came from. It's a great pic though

[@mustardhoney2681]

So much more than a great hockey player. Pettersson shows humility and maturity that is way beyond his years. He gives me so much hope for the future of this franchise. When I watch him play, I feel the same way I did watching the Canucks work their way through the Western Conference in 2011. Thank you, Petey.

2nd best selling jersey while playing for one of the polarizing teams. Every video I watch of him gives me chills. I always think what if we won the draft in 2017? Would Benning have had the ballz to draft him still? So glad we will never know. What is truly amazing is the love he gets from orher teams fans and broadcasters. You know your good when other players want to come play here because of the Petey factor. Cant wait till October.
