Canucks' Pettersson benched late in 5-1 loss to Kraken

Elias Pettersson saw his ice time reduced to 14:20 and was benched late in Vancouver's 5-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken.

The Canucks' $92.8-million center recorded zero shots in the matchup. Coach Adam Foote did not use Pettersson during a full two-minute power play or six-on-five play late in the game.

"He's got to be better, and he knows that," Foote said. "We need more from him and he's got to find it."
