It hasn’t taken Jakob Pelletier long to make his mark in the American Hockey League.
Pelletier, the Calgary Flames’ 2019 first-round draft selection, joined the AHL’s Stockton Heat to start this season after his four-year major junior career concluded with the 2020–21 campaign.
Heat head coach Mitch Love immediately slotted Pelletier on the left side of Stockton’s first line. Has he been able to keep up with 2020–21 Heat co-scoring leaders Adam Ruzicka and Matthew Phillips?
Well, allow the numbers to speak for themselves. Pelletier has five goals and 12 points in his first 10 professional games.
