Izzy CheungThu, November 27, 2025 at 6:30 AM UTC·2 min readElias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks just entered the top-10 in the franchise’s assist record, bumping former teammate J.T. Miller from the list in order to do so. Tonight, against the Anaheim Ducks, Pettersson tallied his 286th assist as a Canuck, which is the 10th-most tallied by a member of the franchise in their entire history. Prior to this, he and Miller were tied with 285 each.
This is one of the final NHL records Pettersson has officially surpassed Miller in throughout franchise history. Previously, Pettersson has logged more goals (192), overall points (478), and power play goals (60) than Miller in each player’s time as a Canuck. The only record they are still both tied in are shorthanded goals for with eight apiece as a member of Vancouver.
