"Should be embarrassed with that OT performance": Canucks fans irate with Elias Pettersson in overtime loss to St. Louis Blues

The Vancouver Canucks fans were left unimpressed with Elias Pettersson as the St. Louis Blues handed a 4-3 defeat to the Canucks, with Brayden Schenn scoring the winner 1:54 into overtime on Wednesday.

The Canucks got off to a slow start and were trailing 3-1 in the third period. Nonetheless, a hat trick from Pius Suter, helped the Canucks recover from the deficit.

Pettersson, however, did not have a great game. He misread plays, providing the opportunity for the Blues to strike.

During overtime, the 25-year-old Swedish forward lost control of the puck at the other end of the ice. The misplay from the forward led to an opportunity for Brayden Schenn, who went on to score the game-winning goal for the Blues right after.

Here's what the Vancouver fans on X, formerly Twitter, said following the defeat to St. Louis Blues.

One fan tweeted:

Elias Pettersson has been one of the best players for the Canucks this term. With 61 points through 25 goals and 36 assists, he's the second-leading scorer for the Canucks after J.T. Miller (64 points).
