Elias Pettersson scored two goals 44 seconds apart in the second period to snap a seven-game scoring drought and the Vancouver Canucks held on to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3.

Cody Ceci cut it to 4-2 at 4:21 of the third period with a slap shot from the top of the right circle that hit defenseman Derek Forbort in the leg and deflected through Demko. Luke Kunin scored on a rebound with Askarov pulled for an extra attacker for the 4-3 final at 19:54.

Walman was injured during the Sharks’ game Edmonton Oilers on Saturday is now considered day-to-day, coach Ryan Warsofsky said. It’s a considerable loss for the Sharks, who have lost four straight games.

The Vancouver Canucks have one final game ahead of their holiday break and welcome the San Jose Sharks to town on Monday for a 6:00 p.m. game. Monday night’s game will be the first of four games broadcasted on Amazon Prime this season.
