Canucks’ Pettersson benched late in loss to Kraken

Elias Pettersson saw his ice time slashed to just 14:20 in a 5-1 loss to the Kraken, sitting out the final minutes as coach Adam Foote demanded more pace.

Pettersson played on the fourth line and recorded zero shots during a game where he was notably absent from crucial power-play and six-on-five situations. Coach Adam Foote said, "He's got to be better... He's got to play with more zip, like, more pace to his game."
