It's been a solid start to 2026-27 for Elias Pettersson 😤 How many points do you think he'll finish the season with? @b Via @Sportsnet on X

What happened: Elias Pettersson has generated early offense to begin the NHL exhibition schedule.

Why it matters: The production follows a summer where his trade market failed to find traction. Securing an early rhythm could help stabilize his role or boost his value before the regular season begins.

By the numbers: Pettersson has tallied 16 hits alongside his scoring output across his first three preseason appearances.

What to watch: Watch if he maintains this pace when the regular season schedule opens.
