Pettersson was recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) on Wednesday.

Let the confusion begin. Pettersson was selected in the third round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and is yet to make his NHL debut. The 20-year-old blue-liner has one goal and 12 assists in 36 AHL games this season. Defenceman Noah Juulsen was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday in a corresponding move.
