No. 2 – C/RW Elias Pettersson (Vaxjo Lakers, SHL)

Even when Elias Pettersson has a slow week in the SHL, he can find a way to make this list. Pettersson only picked up a goal in three games with Vaxjo this week. It put his season total up to 36 points in 30 games.

Pettersson only needs one more point to enter the top 10 all-time U20 seasons in the SHL. Despite being away for two weeks in Buffalo for the World Juniors, Pettersson has the sixth most points in the league. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this season takes him.

Did anyone forget about the Champions Hockey League? It’s okay. I know the World Juniors can distract from other tournaments around the World. Vaxjo was in a semi-final match against the Czech team, Liberec. Fun fact: Canucks prospect Lukas Jasek is on that team.

Unfortunately for Jasek, his team had to face the onslaught of Elias Pettersson after losing the Gold Medal game. He scored two goals in a 6-1 rout, eliminating Liberec from the tournament. Here are his goals from that game:

Pettersson has nine points in ten games in the CHL tournament. Vaxjo will play in the championship game on February 6th.
