Inside the Numbers: Canucks' Elias Pettersson is shooting less, skating slower

Summary

71% Informative

Elias Pettersson's top skating velocity has gone from one of the NHL ’s fastest to below average in the span of two seasons .

Vancouver Canucks star's top speed burst was measured at 37.5 km /h in 2022-23 .

He mentioned at the end of last season that he had knee tendinitis in the second half , so if he wasn’t feeling totally comfortable in the run out of the season, it does make sense that he wasn't accelerating as much as much.

A source told Postmedia that he is not dealing with an injury this year , so his reduced top speed is a bit of a mystery.

There are still some small technique concerns, such as how he is sealing on the ice, but against the Predators the Canucks did need him to make a couple big saves and he delivered in that regard.
