Pelletier, 21, was the Flames’ first-round pick in 2019. He’s gone pro this season with the Heat and has emerged as one of that circuit’s top two-way players and scorers. At present, he sits ninth in the AHL in points and is second among all AHL rookies in points, too.

The Heat are back in action on Tuesday night when they face the San Jose Barracuda.
