2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Jakob Pelletier is a great two-way forward

Jakob Pelletier is an intriguing option at left wing in this year’s draft. The third overall pick in the 2017 QMJHL Draft made the most of his season, building upon his great rookie campaign last year.

He made the most of his time on the ice, racking up 39 goals and 50 assists for 89 points in 65 games, a big improvement over his 61 points in 60 games the previous season. His strong on-ice prowess didn’t shine as much in the playoffs, where he struggled and only amassed two goals and one assist in seven games.
