Few players have looked more impressive than Jakob Pelletier at this year’s edition of the IIHF World Junior Championship.
The 19-year-old product of Quebec City has chipped in three goals and four assists in seven games for Team Canada while seeing his role consistently increase over the course of the tournament. He skated on the team’s top line with Connor McMichael and Dylan Cozens on Monday in a 5-0 win over Russia in the semi-finals.
The Calgary Flames have included Pelletier on their 2020-21 training camp roster and they expect him to report after he’s finished at the World Juniors.
