Marcus Pettersson Looking At More Minutes With Josh Manson Out
7 years agoAnaheim Ducks defenseman Marcus Pettersson looks set to see a lot more minutes in the upcoming games, as he's moved up to the second pairing, with Josh Manson (upper body) out. The rookie from Sweden logged 16:40 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Calgary, which is over three minutes more than his season average (13:10). He also picked up 33 seconds on the power play and registered a plus-2 rating, playing alongside Hampus Lindholm, who scored in the contest. Pettersson is now plus-eight in his first 14 career games, although he hasn't done much offensively getting only two points. But the numbers should improve with the bigger minutes.
