Pettersson, Boeser back in lineup for Canucks

Two Vancouver Canucks stars are on the mend.

Both Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser said Saturday that they are back, and Canucks head coach Travis Green then confirmed his dynamic duo is ready to return Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pettersson suffered a concussion when he was hit and then slammed to the ice by Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson on Oct. 13.

Boeser missed two contests with a groin injury.

Pettersson still leads all rookies in goals and points despite missing six games.
