Tocchet: '[Pettersson] has got to get in his head that move-my-feet, give-me-the-puck mentality.'
Elias Pettersson kicked off 2024 with an incredible January, racking up 14 goals and 21 points in 13 games.
Part of that has to do with quality of linemates. In January, Pettersson was primarily playing with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser on the Lotto Line, while his other typical linemates this season have been the snakebitten Ilya Mikheyev, the still-raw Nils Höglander, and fourth-liner Sam Lafferty. When this lead-footed reporter a little too bluntly asked Pettersson if he needed such a reminder, Pettersson coolly replied, “I think I just got one.”
But even Garland has his moments where his feet stop moving. To him, the feet stopping isn’t the root issue; it’s a symptom of something else. “I just know when I have stuff going on and you’re thinking, then your feet don’t move and you become a very average player,” said Garland.
