Pettersson responded by breaking the game wide-open for the Canucks late in the second period. Kiefer Sherwood ’s 2-1 goal was a key turning point because the club had only mustered 13 shots entering the final TV timeout of the second period, but it was Pettersson who made sure to put the game out of reach.

Elias Pettersson scored twice and Quinn Hughes added two assists as the Vancouver Canucks edged the visiting San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Monday night.

Monday's win was massive as Pettersson broke his six-game goalless and pointless streak. He scored twice in 44 seconds during the second period, with his second goal looking like a vintage Pettersson snipe. With four shots total, he looked like the Pettersson of old, which is massive for Vancouver moving forward.
