Vancouver Canucks fans expressed disappointment with Elias Pettersson for his performance in the 4-1 home defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
The Flyers came out flying against the Canucks, limiting them to just one goal, with Theodor Blueger being the only scorer for the hosts. After a goalless first period, the Flyers scored thrice in a 2:06 span to snap the Canucks' nine-game point streak.
