Vegas and Vancouver also met last week when Vancouver won 5-1.

Great victory organizer was Elias Pettersson with two goals and two assists.

When the team met again last night, he stepped forward again.

Pettersson scored the 3-1 goal early in the second period, accounted for two assists and was named the best player of the match.

Vancouver eventually won 5-4 after Quinn Hughes decided in overtime.

Vancouver and Elias Pettersson have been in good shape to say the least at the end.

Pettersson, who had a tough start to the season, has scored nine points in the last five games while Vancouver has lined up four straight victories.

- We feel good now and have won four matches in a row.

But it does not matter if we do not continue to play good hockey.

We are still behind and must win matches, says Pettersson.

Both Vegas and Vancouver are out of a playoff spot at the moment, but they are still in the fight.

Vegas is ninth in the Western Conference with 85 points and has three points up to Los Angeles in the eighth and final playoff spot.

Vancouver, in turn, is six points behind with eight games left to play.
