Canucks Beat Flames 3-1, Pettersson Shines

Elias Pettersson celebrated his 26th birthday in style by leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, scoring a power-play goal and assisting on Erik Brannstrom’s goal. The win marked only the Canucks' second home victory of the season, improving their record to 8-3-3. J.T. Miller contributed with two assists, while goalie Kevin Lankinen made 27 saves to enhance his personal record to 8-1-2. The Canucks fought back after falling behind 1-0 in the first period, with Pettersson scoring just 23 seconds into the second period. Meanwhile, the Flames struggled to find their rhythm, securing only three wins in their last eleven games. The Canucks are set to face the New York Islanders next, while they continue to adjust without Brock Boeser, who is sidelined due to injury.
