Flames' Jakob Pelletier: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Pelletier agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Pelletier has just 37 games of NHL experience under his belt in which he recorded four goals on 57 shots to go with two assists, 10 hits and three blocks. Even though he is sporting a two-way deal, Pelletier should still play the bulk of his games in the NHL this season -- albeit in a bottom-six capacity that is unlikely to come with power-play opportunities.

Flames' Jakob Pelletier: Lands on season-opening IR
Rotowire
Pelletier (shoulder) was placed on season-opening injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Pelletier underwent shoulder surgery this week and is expected to be out for multiple months. The Flames haven't provided a specific timeline for the winger's return, but it's safe to assume he won't play in the first three months of the season.
Pelletier suffered a shoulder injury during Monday's split-squad game versus Seattle that will require surgery and keep him sidelined indefinitely.
The Flames have yet to release an expected timetable for Pelletier's recovery, but it's probably safe to assume the 22-year-old winger will miss at least a few months of action. With Pelletier presumably headed to IR for the start of the year, Dryden Hunt's chances of making Calgary's Opening Night roster have likely improved significantly.
