Pettersson scored twice in AHL Belleville's 5-2 win over Manitoba on Tuesday.
Pettersson hasn't done much in the AHL this year, but he has three goals over his last four games. Overall, he's at seven points, 20 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances. The 2022 third-round pick will likely end up with a career year in his third AHL campaign, but he'll need to show a lot more before he's an option for Ottawa at the NHL level. This is the final year of his entry-level contract.

Pettersson was recalled from AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
Pettersson, who was selected by the Sens in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft, has yet to make his NHL debut despite spending parts of the last two years with AHL Belleville. Given his limited offensive upside, the 21-year-old center tallied just nine goals and six assists in 67 regular-season games last year, he is going to be hard-pressed to see much ice time during the year.
