Pelletier was the 26th overall pick of the Flames in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old scored three points (1G / 2A) in 13 games with the Flames last season. He has been productive during the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, scoring 19 points (3G / 16A) in 20 contests.
Calgary solidified some of their offensive depth on Thursday after they re-signed former 1st-round pick (2019 - 26th overall) Jakob Pelletier to a one-year, two-way contract worth $800,000. The 23-year-old left-winger appeared in 13 games in 2023-24 and had a goal, three points, and nine SOG while averaging just 9:16 TOI/GP in a bottom-six role.
The 23-year-old Pelletier played the last nine games for the Flames, recording two points (1G / 1A). He will return to the Wranglers (AHL), where he has three points (2G / 1A) in four games.
Pelletier exited Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers early in the first period with an upper-body injury after playing only 54 seconds. Pelletier has been limited to only four games this season as he previously recovered from shoulder surgery. The Flames recalled Cole Schwindt from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), indicating that Pelletier will likely be unavailable for the Flames' Thursday night matchup against the San Jose Sharks.
Pelletier has been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL as he continues his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery. Last season he made his NHL debut, recording seven points (3G / 4A) in 24 games for the Flames.
Pelletier is expected to be out long-term after undergoing shoulder surgery. Last season he made his NHL debut, recording seven points (3G / 4A) in 24 games for the Flames. In his absence, Dryden Hunt is expected to make the opening-night roster and center the 4th line for Calgary.
Pelletier injured his left shoulder during a Flames pre-season game, and he will undergo surgery next week. Pelletier split his 2023 season between the AHL and NHL, picking up seven points (3G / 4A) in 24 games with the Flames. He was poised to fill a middle-6 role with the Flames this season, but that will no longer be the case.
Pelletier has been a healthy scratch for the Flames' previous two games but will draw back into the lineup Monday vs. Los Angeles as he replaces Walker Duehr. The 22-year-old has three goals, seven points, and 44 SOG through 22 games this season.
Pelletier has 16 goals, 20 assists, a +4 plus/minus and 22 PIMs through 33 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) but earned his second call-up of the season Monday. He failed to pick up any points in his previous four-game NHL appearance earlier this season.
The Flames do not play again until after the All-Star break, so they sent a trio of young players, including Pelletier, back to the AHL.
Pelletier has had an excellent AHL season to date, scoring 15 goals with 19 assists (34 points) in 31 games. The 2019 No.26 overall pick has been terrific as a 21-year-old, second-year pro and could make his NHL debut on Sunday.
Pelletier was picked with the No.26 overall pick in this summer’s NHL Entry Draft after scoring 39 goals with 50 assists (89 points) with the Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL). He was assigned to Moncton earlier today.
