Elias Pettersson says he'll likely be in the lineup against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday afternoon.

"There's a good chance I will be playing (Sunday), but I will check in with the medical team later (Saturday night) and (Sunday) morning and see how I feel, and we'll make the decision after that," Pettersson told reporters after practice on Saturday.

The rookie scoring leader was a full participant in Saturday's session.

Pettersson has missed the Canucks' last five games due to a slight knee sprain suffered after getting tangled up with the Montreal Canadiens' Jesperi Kotkaniemi on Jan. 3.

Despite missing time with that ailment and a concussion earlier in the campaign and playing only 38 games, Pettersson still comfortably leads first-year players in goals (22) and points (42).

The Colorado Avalanche avoided a major scare Saturday, as superstar Mikko Rantanen was held out of the third period versus the Los Angeles Kings for precautionary reasons, according to Ryan Clark of The Athletic.

The 22-year-old is set to play the club's next contest Monday versus the Nashville Predators, Clark adds.

Rantanen had another huge game, burying two goals in Colorado's 7-1 rout. However, after his second of the contest, he appeared to take a bit of an awkward fall.

Rantanen now has 73 points in 48 games this season.
