Pettersson opened the scoring at 9:21 of the first, putting his shot from the point under the blocker of a screened Kuemper for his third of the season.
Los Angeles tied it 1-1 as Byfield redirected an Alex Laferriere feed past Lankinen for his 23rd of the season -- matching his career best.
The Canucks took a 2-1 lead on a power play 52 seconds into the middle frame, banging home the loose puck off Brock Boeser's shot past Kuemper for his 22nd.
Kempe responded 12 seconds later, chipping an Anze Kopitar feed up and over the pad of Lankinen for his 36th of the season.
Los Angeles took its first lead of the game at 2:17 of the second as Laferriere put home the rebound off Drew Doughty's point shot for his 21st.
