Canucks star centre Elias Pettersson day-to-day with upper-body injury

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks will be without star forward Elias Pettersson as they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. 

The team says the Swedish centre is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. 

Pettersson notched an assist in Vancouver’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday. 

He did not participate in the optional morning skate on Sunday, and head coach Bruce Boudreau called his absence a “maintenance day.”
