Elias Pettersson scores pair as Vancouver Canucks beat Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2
Elias Pettersson scored twice and the Vancouver Canucks will head into the NHL all-star break on a win after downing the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on Friday.
Both teams have struggled mightily this season and came into the game lingering near the bottom of the NHL. Pettersson put the Canucks up 5-1 with a power-play goal 12:52 into the final frame, firing a blistering shot on net from high in the face-off circle. Korpisalo got a piece of the shot but it dribbled across the goal line for Pettersson’s second goal of the night and 21st of the season.
