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.
