Most impressive 10 secs in a while for Elias Pettersson. Knocks down Benoit on reverse hit to keep puck in, before making gorgeous diagonal pass to flying Fil Hronek.

Marcus Pettersson not only upgrades Canucks D but strengthens leadership as team recalibrates. GM Allvin: “We need to build a stronger leadership group and Marcus is very consistent. I think that's something for a lot of players just to watch.”

Canucks hope to see Quinn Hughes play SAT vs TOR, but it's largely captain's call for Team USA at 4Nations. GM Patrik Allvin: "Quinn is extremely professional. He knows his body, and what he can do or not do, so I trust him a lot. We're supporting him in his position."

The Canucks are suddenly a team with three Swedes named Pettersson and two Czechs named Filip. But there is still only one Thatcher Demko. And on Tuesday, with his marvellous minute vs Avalanche, Demko looked exactly like himself in shutout win.

Everything good about Canucks’ restart except OT. Ex-NYR Filip Chytil: “It's a lot of emotions. But right away, when… I saw the fans in the building, and I saw how everybody was pumped for a game, I started to feel like this is where I want to be.”

Loud boos for the U.S. anthem before Canucks game at Rogers Arena. I’m sure the numerous American players on the team are impressed. Counter-cheers at the end.

Although best player back from Miller trade is Marcus Pettersson, all eyes are on Elias. GM Allvin: “My expectation is higher on him than anyone else on our team, and I expect him to meet my expectation, and I expect him to meet his own expectation. And so far, he has not.”

Emotions that carried the Canucks, also carried J.T. Miller away. GM Patrik Allvin: “This was something that J.T. and I discussed; he never requested a trade. This was the best for him. . . and his health and his family, and for the Vancouver Canucks.”

Trading J.T. Miller at a discount was the easiest solution to the Miller-Pettersson crisis. The more complicated and serious problem is getting Pettersson fully invested and willing to do what’s necessary to be a superstar now that Miller is gone.

J.T. Miller last May, after Canucks beat Predators: “Not any part of me ever wanted to go somewhere else. You don't have Pettersen and Hughes and Demko everywhere, you don't have Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin and Rick Tocchet and Adam Foote. Why would I want to leave?"

Canucks need more than two wins. But the way they’ve defended for a while, if their offence actually gets going like it did in STL, team can go on a roll. Helps immensely when Miller and Pettersson play well at the same time. For the Canucks.
