Marcus Pettersson was drafted by Anaheim in 2014, debuted for the Ducks four years later, but was traded to the Penguins during the 2018-19 season.

Pettersson was with Pittsburgh for over six years and proved to be dependable on lockdown defense. The Blueliner had his best offensive year in 2023-24 with career highs in Points (30) and a plus/Minus (+28), but despite the improvement, the Penguins went into selling mode and dealt the Defenseman to the Vancouver Canucks during the 2024-25 campaign.

With the Penguins, Pettersson had 141 Points with a Plus/Minus of +68.
