Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken after missing the previous two games with an illness.
The 2017 fifth overall pick is having a breakout season for the club, scoring 13 goals and 34 points in 29 games so far.
In the two games without Pettersson, the Canucks have struggled to generate offence, losing 5-1 in consecutive games at home.
Defenceman Ethan Bear will be a healthy scratch.
