The Vancouver Canucks placed Elias Pettersson on injured reserve on Sunday and activated fellow forward Marco Rossi from IR.
The move to injured reserve is retroactive to Dec. 5 for Pettersson, who is nursing an upper-body injury.
Pettersson, 27, has recorded 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 28 games this season.
The Calder Memorial Trophy recipient as the rookie of the year in 2018-19, Pettersson has posted 479 points (193 goals, 286 assists) in 499 career games. The Swede was selected by the Canucks with the fifth overall pick of the 2017 NHL Draft.
Rossi, 24, has been sidelined since Nov. 11 with a lower-body injury.
He was acquired along with fellow forward Liam Ohgren, defenseman Zeev Buium and a first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft in the trade that sent former Norris Trophy recipient Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
Rossi has 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 17 games this season
He has totaled 114 points (49 goals, 65 assists) in 202 career games since being selected by the Wild with the ninth overall pick of the 2020 NHL Draft.
