Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks leads the league in total points in the NHL

Elias Pettersson cements the NHL scoring lead.

The 24-year-old had a goal and two assists as the Vancouver Canucks recorded their fifth straight win.

– This is a lot of fun, a lot of fun, says the Swedish Star Centre.

The Vancouver Canucks won 5-2 over the Ottawa Senators away from home.

Elias Pettersson has scored in seven straight games and is now up to 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 13 games.

-We’re winning now. We play well most of the time, but like today, I don’t think we did our best. I wasn’t happy with my performance, but we found a way to win. “I think that’s a strength we have now,” says Elias Pettersson.

Difficult direct shot

It was EP40 who decided the final score with a powerful, direct shot on the power play.

Elias Pettersson also had the first pass to make it 2-0 and 4-2.

Both times, Russian Ilya Mikheev was the scorer, and the second goal was a shot by Elias Pettersson that hit his skates.

Worse night for Forsberg

The first goal of the match, scored by American Brock Boeser, actually came after 15 seconds, and after 3.00, the guests took a two-goal lead.

The Ottawa Senators then went up 2-2 before the Vancouver Canucks were able to clinch the game.

Anton Forsberg in the penalty area conceded five goals from 16 shots.
