The Calgary Flames have signed forward Jakob Pelletier to a one-year, two-way contract on Friday.

According to reports, the contract has an average annual value of US$800,000. The 23-year-old is a left shot winger with two really strong seasons and one where he was waylaid by injuries.

Pelletier was the Flames’ first-round pick back in 2019. Since then, he has played two QMJHL seasons and three pro seasons. He has 37 games of NHL experience, where he recorded four goals on 57 shots to go with two assists, 10 hits and three blocks.

Prior to the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Pelletier was ranked 27th among all North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. He was selected to represent Team Canada at the 2020 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, but a concussion prevented him from playing in the tournament.

Pelletier scored the overtime game-winning goal in Game 1 of the 2023 Calder Cup playoffs to lead the team over the Abbotsford Canucks in the Pacific Division semifinals.
