Vancouver forward Elias Pettersson's rediscovered scoring touch will be put to the test when the Canucks host the road warrior New York Rangers on Tuesday night. It took a six-game homestand for Pettersson to break out of his scoring slump.

The Vancouver Canucks have recalled defenseman Elias Pettersson from the Abbotsford Canucks, it was reported Sunday. Known amongst fans as 'D-Petey', Pettersson began the season with Abbotsford, collecting four assists in 15 games.

With five goals in his last seven games, Pettersson is rapidly heating up, but the Canucks fell to the Predators on Sunday night.
